Objective: Participants will define anger, identify the difference between anger and aggression, and understand the physiological and emotional causes of anger.
Topics Covered:
What is Anger?
The Emotional and Physiological Response to Anger (Cognitive-Behavioral Perspective)
The Difference Between Healthy and Unhealthy Expressions of Anger
The Impact of Uncontrolled Anger on Relationships, Work, and Health
Understanding Anger as a Normal Human Emotion, Not a "Bad" Emotion
Evidence-Based Content:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) concepts on anger
Emotional regulation theory and neurobiological research
This module teaches practical, evidence-based techniques to help individuals defuse anger before it escalates and develop healthier coping strategies in the moment. Participants explore how to recognize early signs of emotional overload and apply calming tools grounded in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and emotional regulation frameworks. Lessons include identifying physical and emotional signs of escalation, using grounding techniques, practicing mindfulness-based calming skills, and building a personalized coping plan. Learners are guided through interactive reflections, skill-building exercises, and real-life examples to reinforce confidence in managing intense emotional states effectively. By the end of this module, participants will be better equipped to pause, reset, and choose more constructive responses during moments of stress or frustration.
