Anger Management a Cognitive Learning Process

Anger is a learned behavior. As we grow up we watch our parents or caregivers deal with their anger and stress. We learn by watching what they do and model what we see. This means that the process can be relearned better in anger management cognitive based learning processes. We all know how to show compassion to some degree and how to act "appropriately" in different social situations as defined by that particular group. We also tend to get into "habits" of destructive communication skills when dealing with anger and stress. It can happen to all of us and is a constant daily awareness for many of us to "think before speaking" .

Anger Management classes can teach a person in improving their communications skills, how they deal with their anger better, stress management skills, and emotional intelligence. We ask all of our clients to keep a daily anger and stress journal. The journal keeps them aware of their interactions and encourages them to practice their newly learned skills. Each week we encourage them to talk about one of the journal entries in class. This gives the other members of the group a chance to learn from the other group member's experiences and how to apply the skills to everyday life.

A client will find their success if they are willing to continue to practice these skills on a daily basis. We offer a computerized assessment that maps out their skills in communication, stress, empathy, and anger. A pre and post assessment is done to show where the client's weaknesses and strengths are. Change is difficult and is a process that is different for each individual. If you have ever tried changing your eating habits, quit smoking, etc. The process is not always easy but it takes a concious effort.
