Transforming Anger Through Radical Acceptance and Forgiveness

Friday, October 11, 2024
9:00 a.m. - 12:00  p.m.

Zoom Webinar

Registration Fee: $45

OVERVIEW: 

Anger is a pervasive clinical issue that affects so many clients.  It affects us both directly and indirectly as either a contributing or precipitating element in many presenting concerns.  It may be a problem that the client is consciously aware of, or an unconscious element that seeps into our daily lives (such as cynicism or blame).  As clinicians, we often think of managing anger rather than treating it.  However, managing anger is what one has to do after becoming emotionally activated.  Learning how to transform thoughts and feelings that are a pathway towards anger can help reduce anger’s harmful effects on the mind, body, and spirit.

OBJECTIVES: After attending this Zoom webinar, the participant will be able to:

• Describe the effects of anger on our overall health,
• Recognize the often subtle warning signs of anger,
• Review how anger contributes to other diagnostic concerns (such as addiction, PTSD, or depression),
• Evaluate multi-modal strategies for addressing anger-related concerns,
• Share treatment strategies that have been found helpful with client populations.
