Anger Management

Anger Management

A comprehensive program for identifying and controlling anger

Bridgeway Center Inc. offers a 12-week comprehensive Anger Management Program. The focus is on identifying and accepting responsibility for the anger that may be interrupting daily life or impacting the lives of others, identifying triggers, and developing healthy coping patterns—getting anger under control. Participants can explore the pattern formation of their rage, utilize newly learned skills, and provide feedback to the provider and peers regarding changes they are experiencing while using these new skills.

Anger is an emotion experienced by everyone. Anger is a normal reaction to some situations. Anger can be identified as mild or severe irritation. Depending on the person, the case, and their feelings, anger may cause an individual to become infuriated. Some people may lash out or become highly aggressive. Other people may attempt to ignore these feelings or become withdrawn. Some people become rude. Anger can be an extremely destructive emotion if left uncontrolled.

People who experience intense anger outbursts or violence tend to blame others for their behavior. Many individuals who have anger issues feel insulted when anger management is suggested. They cannot accept that they have anger problems, so they do not seek the help they need.

Without help, this could eventually lead to a drastic change in lifestyle, possibly including the loss of family, friends and employment.

This program can also be used to assist in the prevention of further escalating behaviors. Someone may be able to identify that their behaviors are impacting their daily life and want to get assistance to avoid unhealthy circumstances and negative consequences.
