Control your anger before it controls you

We all get angry and impatient, and I am no different. I have learned to keep calm especially when triggered by small and often unimportant 'irritants'. This course will help you understand your response anger, what triggers it, and ways you can control it before it ends up controlling you.

Topics covered

Who should attend this course?

Anyone who has reacted to a situation with anger which they later regretted, and now wants to learn how they can respond in more constructive and reasonable ways to situations they otherwise find difficult.

What will you learn from this course?

Core to managing your anger is understanding your physical response to anger, what triggers it, how it escalates, and the process for managing and ultimately preventing your anger from getting the better of you. You will learn simple but effective anger management techniques to control your anger as it's happening, as well more in-depth approaches to understand your anger process and stop it from escalating.

Group Therapy Frequently Asked Questions

About the Group

Are these group sessions live?

Yes, all groups are online and live so feel free to take notes, so you get the most out of the group program content. We also make time for Q&A at the end of each session so if you have any questions about the course content you can ask the Psychologist directly.

How many participants are there in the group program?

Normally there are between 6- 10 participants in the group zoom session. You will be able to see the Group Leader and the other participants in the group. You will also be able to ask Q&A questions either during the group or at the end of the group.

If I miss one of the group dates can I watch the recording?

Our Psychology groups are live events and are not recorded for client confidentiality and privacy reasons. We are unable to provide a digital copy, however we can provide the group handouts/homework each session.

Alternatively, you can schedule an individual counselling session with the Group Leader if you wish to discuss the session content in detail. Please call our Client Services Team on 1300 161 639 or use our live Chat on the website to book a session.

Are there any other group times available?

At this stage all our groups are running in the evenings, but we will be trialling some during the day next month. Many of our groups are repeated at a later date and we can put you on our waiting list for the next one. Please call our Client Services Team on 1300 161 639 or use our live Chat on the website to be added to a wait list.

Will other participants see me in the group?

The Zoom session is presented to the group, and you will be able to see the other participants. We ensure confidentiality by only making your first name visible. We do not want people turn off their video cameras for safety reasons and we don’t allow other people in the room for confidentiality reasons.

Can I have a private consultation with the group leader?

It is up to the Group Leaders whether they will provide one-on-one sessions for group members as it may be disruptive for the group. Please call our Client Services Team on 1300 161 639 to request this and they will pass on your request to the Group Leader.

If I want more extensive counselling, can this be organised?

We can arrange one-on-one counselling sessions with your Group Leader once the group has ended. To request this, please call our Client Services Team on 1300 161 639 or use our live Chat on the website



Group Confidentiality

Will participants be able to discuss the group sessions?

A Group Therapy Agreement will be sent to the participants at the end of the first session. This states that it is permitted to discuss group content outside the group, but not anything of a personal nature that is shared within the group.

No-one else should be present in the room during the group session and only first names will be visible on the video screen.

Make sure you have a quiet, closed space to participate in the group as confidentiality is important for you and others in the group.
