Our Anger Management Classes
Our anger management programs are designed for better self-awareness and peace of mind, addressing challenges like failing relationships, job loss, or parenting struggles. Jeff’s compassionate and understanding approach ensures you feel heard without judgment.
Each 8-session journey starts with an intake to discuss confidentiality and sets a clear plan focusing on communication, conflict resolution, emotional regulation, and dealing with disappointment.
Unlike past therapy experiences that often feel unhelpful, our classes deliver anger management techniques grounded in practical common sense principles from Jeff’s extensive training. You’ll learn to forgive unresolved issues (e.g., conflicts with parents or bullies), manage stress and emotions, and align with your values to live purposefully.
Anger Management Involves:
- Recognizing situations that trigger overwhelming anger: Identify anger triggers to understand what sets you off, from daily stressors to past hurts.
- Taking action to calm down: Use relaxation techniques like deep breathing or mindfulness to regain control in heated moments.

In high-pressure professional environments, preventative anger management is essential for maintaining productivity and preventing escalation of workplace stress into conflicts or burnout. At AMRoch, our classes equip professionals with proactive tools like early recognition of anger triggers, stress reduction techniques, and thought control for anger to foster emotional resilience before issues arise.
Drawing from strategies such as mindfulness, adequate sleep, exercise, and forgiveness practices, these sessions help individuals in professional settings—like corporate leaders or healthcare workers—build self-awareness and communication skills to handle demands without letting frustration fester.
By addressing root causes like unmet expectations or unresolved issues early, professionals can enhance decision-making, reduce the risk of substance abuse and anger, and create a more balanced work-life dynamic, ultimately boosting career longevity and team harmony.
