TDC Anger Management

We have been offering sessions on anger at Bergen and Associates Counselling for several years now…in both our group format of 6-7 hours, and the individual session that total 4 hours. Our course, Transforming Destructive into Constructive, has now been well received by hundreds of people.

Our thinking about anger parallels this quote:

Do not teach your children never to be angry; teach them how to be angry. Lyman Abbott poster

Do not teach your children never to be angry; teach them how to be angry.

Lyman Abbott

Anger is an emotion which has been created and instilled in each of us for a purpose. Anger needs to be felt, understood, heard, validated and used as positive energy to make a difference. Anger runs the danger of being intrusive, assaultive, violent, frightening and therefore, often avoided–or feared.

Transforming Destructive into Constructive works to modify responses towards anger to allow it to be used effectively in relationships, to advocate effectively for oneself, and to be respectful for all.

In the past, we have run some extra sessions of Transforming Destructive into Constructive for a particular company who sent its employees for training. It was great to have a group of co-workers work together to figure out how to relate to each other when tensions are running high, and tempers start to flare. They were relaxed and familiar with each other, and conversation flowed easily.

It was great fun for me to be on the other side of the wall, hearing howls of laughter as the material was processed. They really enjoyed working through the material with each other…and their evaluations showed that they found it super helpful to hear the content.

Industry is recognizing that behavior that was tolerated a decade ago, is now very clearly not considered acceptable…and that a workplace can be a better environment if people are thoughtful and constructive in moving forward during times of conflict.

One comment that we have heard over and over again by participants is realizing how useful the material is for all folks…not just those with exploding rage that may have criminal charges against them. Thinking carefully about the role of anger in one’s life is helpful for all people.
