Anger Management Resources Available for Tough Economy

Tough economy making you angry? Anger management might be the answer for you! Make sure you go there first before hurting your innocent family. You know they have no fault, yet they will still suffer!

Yacine Bell, an Oakland-based anger management provider and executive coach and certified anger management is reissuing a variety of anger management resources and tools this year specifically for those people struggling to cope with frustration, fear, and anger associated with the uncertain economy. Through her Anger Management Institute (AMI) http://www.angerinstitute.net based in Oakland, Bell intends to focus a variety of training sessions, workshops, informational sessions, and speaking engagements to empower others to recognize stress triggers that can lead to anger.

"Over the past 6-9 months, I have met with a number of managers of businesses wanting to find quick solutions to the rise in anger they're seeing exhibited by their staff, many of these managers are noticing that as the economy worsens their staff are greatly affected, particularly those who have greater challenges managing their anger," said Bell. "There's no doubt that during times of great stress whether it is stress caused by illness, natural disaster, or what many of us have experienced where job loss, foreclosure, and any number of other economic maladies are concerned," she said. "The result can lead to people feeling desperate, powerless, and for too many with anger control issues, can easily translate into heated arguments and even violence at home, the workplace, or just about any public place where people encounter one another."

Bell pointed out, however, that through careful training and understanding of the material, and being willing to change patterns many have grown accustomed to, the curriculum of simple techniques taught through her training sessions, can impact peoples' lives in profound and lasting ways. Given the scope of AMI's curriculum, which is recognized by the American Association of Anger Management Providers, it is geared to anyone whose behavior is consistently resulting in employment and relationship conflicts. Through AMI, Bell has been successful working within the large and small Bay Area businesses and organizations to address workplace anger and violence.

"One thing is for certain about these times we're living in, or any time we might be experiencing, and that is that while we cannot control which way the market performs or who might or might not receive a pink slip, we can control our reaction to these experiences which is really what anger managing is concerned with, helping people make the most out of their situation in a way that helps make their lives happier and more fulfilling," added Ms. Bell.
