One of the main purposes of Anger Management is to work with indiviudals to better understand the difference between aggresion and assertiveness.
Often individuals in anger management believe it is not "okay" to experience anger.
This misconcenception can often be problematic because individuals will often begin going to great lengths to avoid feeling anger.
In our approach of teaching individuals anger management skills we use evidenced based tools to enpower individuals to learn it is okay to be assertive and we work on tools and skills to reduce the amount of expressed aggression.
