TAKE THE CHALLENGE – COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING 2 SELF ASSESSMENT TOOLS
SELF-ASSESSMENT TOOL #1: COMPLETE THE 26 ITEM ANGER RISK ASSESSMENT ABOVE

SELF ASSESSMENT TOOL #2: ANSWER THE 5 QUESTIONS BELOW TO ASSESS IF ANGER IS A PROBLEM FOR YOU:
QUESTION #1: DO FAMILY MEMBERS OR OTHERS TELL YOU YOUR ANGER IS A PROBLEM?
Feedback from others, people telling you what they see, is one of the primary ways we learn about ourselves.
QUESTION #2: HAVE YOU BEEN ABUSED OR HURT EMOTIONALLY OR PHYSICALLY BY STREESFUL EVENTS OR TRAUMA?
People who have been abused are at risk for developing anger management problems.
QUESTION #3: HAVE YOU HURT YOURSELF OR OTHERS EMOTIONALLY OR PHSYICALLY WHEN YOU WERE ANGRY?
People that have been abused or hurt are at risk for harming themselves or others.
Emotionally intelligent people do not hurt themselves or others when they are angry.
QUESTION #4: HAS YOUR PARTNER BEEN ABUSED OR HURT EMOTIONALLY OR PHSYICALLY AS A CHILD OR ADULT?
Many choose partners who have a history of having been abused.
When you are in a relationship with a partner who has a history of being abused, there is a risk of your being abused.
Finding yourself in this situation can make you angry, feeling helpless and feeling a little “nuts.”
QUESTION #5: DO YOU ABUSE WOMEN OR OTHERS EMOTIONALLY OR PHYSICALLy?
This question is about getting honest, admitting and accepting the truth.
Most people know when their behavior, when angry, creates problems.
If you’re concerned about domestic violence, Wellness Counseling Associates LLC is here to help.

Most participants report they are very glad they completed the program.

What Class Participants Say
My wife and I have a very abusive relationship. We had a telephone conversation while i was at work and got into an argument. This happens all the time and I was really angry when I got home. We yelled and screamed at each other and in the heat of the moment it got physical. She scratched me. I hit her with my fist and grabbed her by her hair and threw her down on the floor. The police were called and I was arrested and taken to jail. I had to take this class. I have alot of resentments. This class has helped me but I did not want to take it. I admit I have been emotionally and physically abusive toward my wife and she has abused me. I’m more aware of my actions now. I denied I had a problem. I recommend this class.

I have an issue being triggered when my wife shuts down communication. I feel helpless and undervalued and taken for granted as I am a stay-at-home dad. I felt insignificant. I end up feeling angry and don’t want to talk about it. When I get triggered I should walk away. I love my wife but she drives me crazy when she won’t talk to me. This class helped me understand my triggers and learn how I can communicate better.

“>I was arrested for Domestic Violence. I moved in with a woman I dated in Junior High School. Things were good for awhile. Then I caught her in some lies when she was seeing someone else. I moved out. She begged me to come back so I did. One night she did not come home so I sent a lot of text messages asking where she was. I went outside for a walk and I found her laying in the flower bed. She was drunk. I told her we were done again and that I was leaving. She attacked me and hit me. I hit her back. The police were called. She told them I beat her up. I really was stupid and I admit I said some nasty things and i hit her. I am angry at myself for being so dumb but I kept going back hoping things would be different. I feel ashamed that I abused her but she deserved it. This class helped me understand my anger and how I can behave in stupid ways if I’m not aware of my feelings and behavior.
