What Will You Learn?

Anger is a natural human emotion—but when left unchecked, it can affect your wellbeing, relationships, and peace of mind. This course offers a compassionate exploration of anger, its causes, and practical ways to manage it.

Explore the Psychology Behind Anger

You’ll begin by examining what triggers anger and how it may be shaped by stress, environment, and learned behaviours. The course explores different expressions of anger—from quiet resentment to emotional outbursts—and discusses how it may be linked to underlying feelings such as sadness or frustration.

Understand the Impact on Mind and Body

Gain an understanding of how anger influences the brain and body, including its potential effects on mood, focus, and relationships. Learn about the role of stress in emotional regulation and explore everyday lifestyle adjustments that may support emotional balance.

Practical Approaches to Emotional Regulation

Throughout the course, you’ll be introduced to calming and lifestyle-based tools such as mindfulness, deep breathing, body scanning, and laughter therapy. These practices are intended to support self-regulation and emotional awareness.

You’ll also explore structured approaches like the RAIN, STOP, and Chad techniques, designed to encourage reflection and thoughtful response. Techniques such as guided meditation, positive affirmations, and self-hypnosis are discussed from a personal development perspective.

Holistic and Lifestyle-Based Support

Discover how the mind-body connection, nutrition, and daily habits can influence mood and wellbeing. Topics include the use of herbal and aromatic remedies, reducing stimulants, and creating calming routines to support emotional awareness.

Communication and Emotional Awareness

Anger often stems from unmet needs and communication challenges. This course explores ways to build assertiveness, improve active listening, and strengthen emotional intelligence for clearer, more compassionate interactions.

Strategies for Long-Term Awareness

Finally, you’ll examine how patterns of thought and personal triggers shape emotional responses. The course encourages reflection and introduces ideas from Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) to support personal insight and non-clinical self-regulation strategies.

Please note: This course is for educational and professional development purposes only. It does not qualify you to practise as a licensed therapist or provide clinical services.
