Emotional Intelligence Coaching for anger management

By The Anger Management Guru

Emotional Intelligence Coaching for anger management is far more comprehensive than other interventions because it is focused on a wider range of skills that are critical for intra and interpersonal relationships.
Counseling and psychotherapy are specifically designed to treat nervous and mental disorders. Anger is not an illness and therefore not amenable nor responsive to “treatment”.

According to the American Psychiatric Association, anger is a normal human emotion that is a problem when it is too intense, occurs too frequently, lasts too long, impacts health, leads to aggression or violence or destroys work, school or intimate relationships.

The way one responds to anger is learned from his or her family of origin. Any behavior that is learned can be unlearned and alternative responses can be mastered. The key to changing inappropriate behaviors resulting from anger includes: self-regard, self-actualization, emotional self-awareness, emotional expression, assertiveness, independence, interpersonal relationships, empathy, social responsibility, problem solving, reality testing, impulse control, flexibility, stress tolerance and optimism. All of these skills can be objectively assessed using the Bar On EQ-i-2.0 Assessment.

Emotional Intelligence coaching is focused on skill enhancement for any or all of these scales. The Pre emotional intelligence assessment is administered prior to the coaching and a Post Assessment is given after the completion of a minimum of six months of individual coaching.

By using a Pre and Post Test along with a written curriculum including skill enhancement exercises, evidence of the success or lack success of the coaching is readily apparent from the Post Test.
