This six-week program enables people to recognize what they feel, why they feel it and how to handle their emotions in a healthier way.
Within the six weeks, participants learn:
- how to see the more positive side of things
- how to be kinder to themselves and others
- helpful coping skills
- how to confidently express themselves in ways that will not hurt themselves or others.
Session One: Emotions versus Feelings
During this session, we learn the difference between emotions and feelings, the fight or flight response and how being angry can affect all aspects of our lives.
Session Two: Anger is normal
In session two, we discuss the connection between our thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. And how anger affects each.
Session Three: How do you cope with your anger?
This session teaches us that the way we cope with anger affects us and how we can possibly change our communication style to be less threatening to others.
Session Four: Warning signs and coping strategies
In this session we discuss how we all have warning signs when it comes to getting angry. We learn to notice our signs earlier and use a vast amount of healthier coping skills brought to light this week.
Session Five: Setting SMART goals & managing our anger
We learn a new way to set goals and achieve a healthier way to cope when we are angry.
Session Six: Stress and anger
The symptoms of stress and anger are strangely similar. We spend this session discussing stress management and reviewing what we have learned.
