Anger Management

This course is designed to help individuals understand, manage, and cope with anger in both personal and professional environments. Anger, while a natural emotion, can lead to destructive outcomes when not properly managed. By examining the science and psychology behind anger, participants will gain a deeper understanding of why they feel angry and how it affects their thoughts, behaviours, and relationships. This course covers the physiological, emotional, and cognitive aspects of anger and its impact on well-being.

Participants will explore various anger management strategies, including cognitive-behavioural techniques, which focus on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns that fuel anger. Effective communication skills will also be emphasized, enabling individuals to express their emotions assertively and resolve conflicts without escalating the situation. Additionally, the course will introduce stress management and relaxation techniques that can help reduce the intensity of anger and promote a calm, centred response in triggering situations.

Emotional intelligence (EQ) plays a critical role in managing anger, and participants will learn how to enhance their self-awareness, empathy, and self-regulation to improve their emotional responses. The course also includes practical exercises, role-playing, and case studies to apply these strategies to real-life scenarios, helping participants build confidence in managing anger constructively.

By the end of the course, participants will have developed a personalized anger management plan, allowing them to approach future challenges with more control, emotional intelligence, and effective communication skills, fostering improved relationships and personal well-being.
