Anatomy of Anger
Facilitators: Joanne Southcombe and Matt Gardner
More than 2000 years ago Aristotle said:
“Anyone can become angry. That is easy. But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way, -- that is not easy.”
Indeed, this is a challenge for most of us, but it need not be the obstacle that it often is!
Do you find yourself. . . . .
- Stuffing your feelings to ‘keep the peace’?
- Biting your tongue a lot and then hitting the roof when you can’t hold it in any longer?
- Playing head tapes over and over again about events from your past?
- Saying things, or behaving in ways, that you would like to take back if you could?
- Figuring out ways to ‘get back’ at someone for the hurts that have been inflicted upon you?
- Feeling confused and irritated because someone keeps helping you do things you know you could be doing for yourself?
- Believing what other people, or society, has to say instead of acting on your own beliefs?
- Not even knowing what you believe anymore?
- Missing out on peace, joy, and good humour and instead you are experiencing interrupted sleep patterns and you never wake up feeling refreshed and energized?.
If you would like to change even one of these patterns, and start the process of having more self awareness, then Anatomy of Anger would be the course for you. In a fun, small group environment, participants will learn how to be effective role models for anger management so, potentially, the whole family can become healthier and more peaceful. Take back your control and your power!
