Treating Dysfunctional Anger with CBT

How can we help clients who suffer from anger?

This webinar will introduce you to the basics of practical techniques to support and treat individuals suffering from anger issues. We will do this by focusing on how we can help clients explore, challenge and change their unhelpful beliefs and assumptions about managing rules, challenge and conflict in a supportive and compassionate way.

The experience of anger affects not only the individual through higher levels of stress and poorer physical health, but also the individual’s social functioning and relationships. Anger also plays a key role in the development, maintenance, and treatment of emotional disorders (eg Cassiello-Robbins and Barlow, 2016), and is said to be among the most challenging emotions faced in psychotherapy (Norcross and Kobayashi, 1999).
