Group Overview:

Together, we’ll explore practical tools, mindfulness strategies, and emotional skills that empower you to respond — not react — in challenging situations.

In this group, we’ll discuss how to:
• Take ownership of your anger and learn ways to respond with intention instead of impulse.
• Use mindfulness techniques to calm your mind and body in moments of stress.
• Identify your personal anger triggers and the early cues your body gives you.
• Strengthen your communication and listening skills to reduce misunderstandings and conflict.
• Set and maintain healthy boundaries that protect your emotional well-being.
• Learn stress management strategies to keep emotions from boiling over.
• Explore the beliefs and thought patterns that may fuel anger.
• Build emotional intelligence and empathy to improve your relationships and self-control.

Participants are asked to purchase Anita Avedian’s Anger Management Essentials: A Workbook for People to Manage Their Agression.

Facilitator:

Larinda Carrier, MS, LPCC

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with nearly a decade of experience helping individuals navigate anger. I have a background in the use of CBT [cognitive behavioral therapy] and REBT [rational emotive behavioral therapy], as well as mindfulness, that helps people gain control over their anger, rather than allowing it to control them. Anger is often just the surface, and I can help you find out what is underneath your anger, and then learn to manage it in a positive manner. Our goal is not to eliminate anger but rather, to understand it and manage it. Classes will be a no-judgment zone where you can learn practical tools, and expect real talk as you learn not only from me, but from one another as well.
