Description
Traditional forms of anger management typically utilize breathing exercises and a host of other cognitive strategies designed for coping with poor anger management. While these anger management techniques are effective in preventing the angry behavior from escalating, they are not effective in preventing the onset of anger in the first place.
Effective Anger Management for Adolescents focuses on identifying the core beliefs which led to the anger issues in the first place. Once these beliefs are identified, their origins are further explored. Additionally, the adolescent is guided to identify and better manage the anger triggers.
The ultimate goal of treatment is for the adolescent to become committed towards adopting new and healthier core beliefs that effectively address his or her issues without resorting to poor anger management.
Educational Objectives
This beginning level presentation will help participants:
1. Learn how to identify triggers for poor anger management with adolescent
2. Learn how to help the adolescent identify unhealthy core beliefs which have led to the development of their triggers with poor anger management.
3. Learn how to develop cognitive behavioral strategies for responding differently to the identified triggers.
4. Learn how to develop and implement new healthier core beliefs to replace previously identified unhealthy core beliefs.
