Anger Management and Control

If you are a child of the 80′s you probably remember Janet Jackson’s R&B anthem of emancipation entitled “Control”. In her video, posted below she battles for the right to control her life dictated by her parents and how people perceive her.

Many of our clients confuse taking control of their own lives with taking control of the live of other people. Often their attempts to control others manifests in a power struggle that could easily land one our both parties in one of our an anger management classes.

If you are looking for control your are in luck. One of the important messages we discuss when teaching an anger management class is that no matter what conflict or situation we may find ourselves in that we always have some control over the outcome.
This statement may seem untrue to many participants when they first hear it. The fact is that we cannot control what others think or what other’s do but what we can control is what we think and what we do in any circumstance. An example would be when we find ourselves in a disagreement with a loved one. It is possible that we do not agree with what they are thinking or doing but how we respond to them can certainly affect the outcome. In anger management counseling we help our participants to learn new tools to help change the conversation with themselves, which can lead to more positive thoughts and improved outcomes.

Many of our participants find themselves a prisoner to their anger. Anger management therapy empowers individuals with coping tools to gain back control of their life.
