I took an anger management class but I still get angry. Can I get a refund?
I received a call from a young man the other day who seemed to be dissapointed with the results he received from an anger management class he took with another company. His primary complaint was that after several weeks of anger management classes he still found himself “getting angry”
I explained to the caller that taking an anger management course is not like having your appendix removed. We do not extract anger. Even if we could surgically remove anger out of every irrate, destructive client it would probably be a huge mistake.
Anger is a normal human emotion and it serves a specific purpose in our lives. Anger allows us to stand up for our rights. It gives us energy to fight injustice, it is a signal to who we are and shines a spotlight on what we care about the most.
Anger only becomes a problem when you can not control it. In a nutshell the client and many clients went into the class with the wrong expectations. An anger management seminar is not some form of ritual exorcist, calling the spirits of anger from the depths of your soul. No we just teach you how to harness the power within you.
