“If You Don’t Talk it Out, You’ll Act it Out: Creative Strategies for Dealing with Anger in Relationships” Download Dealing with anger
Violence and destructive anger has reached an epidemic level in our culture and negatively impacts us in each arena of life: social, intimacy, spiritual, and work. Conflicts are inevitable, but the more we know about human nature, the better we will be at resolving conflicts, and the better the outcome for both parties. To better understand the causes and signs of anger as well as ways to manage it, this presentation will cover the following objectives for participants:
· Understand three different styles that individuals use to express angry feelings
· Identify and understand different “defense mechanisms” and how they are used to mask anger in the workplace
· Learn basic techniques that anyone can use to de-escalate their own angry feelings at work
· Learn basic techniques in the identification and diffusion of another’s angry feelings
This presentation will take place on Thursday, October 29, 2009 from 6:15 pm – 8:30 pm. Registration begins at 5:45 pm.
