The
Stages of Change Anger Management Curriculum is
based on the professional training method created
by Anthony Fiore, PHD and Ari Novick, MA, LMFT. This
Curriculum is approved by the California Department
of Corrections, CAADAC, CAADE and numerous other professional
organizations.
Uncontrolled
anger is a major factor in domestic violence, and
spousal abuse, aggressive driving violations, in workplace
rudeness and disruption, marital conflicts and in
family conflicts. The method we use to correct anger
management issues is through education and cognitive
behavioral modification. We teach 8 essential anger
management tools and practical ways to apply them
in daily life situations.
We
educate clients on the costs of anger, in health,
self-esteem, relationships, divesting effects on children
and detriment in the workplace. The 8 core management
skills known as tools we teach are the following.

Our
method of anger management teaches clients to become
aware of bodily signs and symptoms which signal them
that they are becoming stressed and need to look at
their feelings, aware of their behaviors and apply
the valuable new tools and skills they are learning.
In addition, clients learn to evaluate the main stressors
in their lives and practical ways to reduce the stress
whenever possible. They learn to identify harmful
patterns, take responsibility and handle conflict
with a win-win approach to resolution.
Stages of Change offers additional counseling services and
referrals for all types of addictions, drug testing
services, Alcohol and Drug Assessments, and more.
We will be happy to provide a detail curriculum upon
request as well as answer any additional questions
you may have at that time.
Anger
expressed toward others is often a misguided way of
communicating a feeling we have or a need that is
not being satisfied by other people or situations.
