Dealing with Anger

This course presents theory, skills, and approaches for managing one's own angry feelings and behaviours and responding to anger in others. Angry, hostile, or resistant feelings and behaviours are commonly generated in conflict situations. Efforts to resolve the conflict may be ineffective if these feelings are ignored or denied. Topics such as anger triggers, self-management, defusing skills, the origins of personal expressions of anger, and disengaging from angry encounters are explored. Emphasis is on self-awareness and skill development through small-group exercises. You will have the option to record your role-play on the final day of the course.
