Workshop at The Women's Center: Healthy Responses to Anger
Charlie Clark, MA, NCC, The Women’s Center Therapist
Healthy Responses to Anger is a beneficial first step in learning to recognize your anger triggers, understanding that anger is mostly an expression of other, deeper emotions, and identifying potential coping skills to reduce the effects of anger in your life.
Understanding the sources of anger (stress, anxiety, fear...), recognizing the associated feelings and thoughts and developing effective responses are the overall goals of this program for both women and men. In addition to considering the root causes of anger, such as low self-esteem and poor modeling, the workshop will emphasize relationship-based anger and include practical exercises to assist participants in identifying anger sources and managing stress and anger responses.
