Anger Management Program Next Class begins Saturday, October 4, 2008 For: Adults who would like to reduce the negative outcomes of their anger, particularly when those outcomes have included the involvement of law enforcement or other legal actions. Disclaimer: This is not a batterers treatment group. Structure: This is a "closed" group, where participants all start and end the group series together. Closed groups are used to provide emotional safety to participants, as there is no change in membership from week to week. Goals: Clients will: 1. ...learn about their personal anger style and how it leads to problematic anger. 2. ...learn to recognize distorted thinking patterns that promote problematic anger and the relationships between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. 3. ...learn immediate avoidance, escape, and problem-solving strategies to de-escalate and disarm the physiological arousal associated with anger. 4. ...practice new communication styles to more accurately express their own thoughts and feelings. 5. ...develop a relapse prevention plan tailored to their own high-risk anger-provoking situations and share them with their group for feedback. 6. ...practice their relapse prevention plans to reduce recidivism when applicable. Time and Place: Saturday Mornings, 9:00 am to 10:30 am, at the Counseling Center of Denton. Length: Eight, classes (Total 12 hours). Fee: $ 30/ per class.
