Description

Unhealthy anger can be one of the most frustrating and frightening emotions therapists work with.

Many clients aren’t ready to make a change. Forced into therapy by their partner, employer, or court system they don’t give you anything to work with, making sessions feel flat and pointless.

Other angry clients are aggressive in session. They yell, posture and question your competence. It can catch you off-guard leaving you uneasy, uncomfortable and trying to manage your own visceral reaction to their rage.

It’s exhausting and you wish there was a better way.

Pavel Somov, PhD is a licensed psychologist with over 20 years of clinical experience and the author of Anger Management Jumpstart: A 4-Session Mindfulness Path to Compassion and Change (PESI Publishing, 2013).

In this 2-day certification training, Dr. Somov will change your approach to anger management with the mindfulness-based tools and clinical interventions you need to help your clients accept their anger, more fully engage in treatment, and reduce their destructive responses to it!

Full of practical applications, experiential exercises and detailed instruction, Dr. Somov will show you how you can:

  • Employ rapid fire techniques for managing anger in the moment
  • Build greater engagement and make angry and avoidant clients feel heard
  • Improve impulse control and self-regulation with a 4-session approach
  • Use group work strategies to reinforce skill acquisition
  • Give clients the tools they need to communicate anger without aggression
  • Tactfully introduce clinical homework to people who don’t want to be told what to do
  • And much more!

Don’t miss your chance to fundamentally change your approach to working with anger and add to your clinical toolbox!
