Emotional Intelligence As An Antidote For The Holiday Blues

As the holidays approach, there is an increase in “seasonal affective disorders” commonly referred to as holiday blues. One of the typical symptoms of this disorder is anger, irritation and agitation.

While psychotherapy and or medication is often useful in treating seasonal depression, anger management is a practical intervention to assist the sufferer with the skills needed to manage his or her stress and anger as well as to use emotional intelligence and assertive communication to enhance interpersonal interaction.

The most popular assessment instrument determining skills in emotional intelligence is the Bar On 2.0 EQ Assessment. This assessment can be taken anywhere on-line .The results are also provided on-line. The 15 Emotional Intelligence Subscales are listed below:

·      Self-Regard

·      Self-Actualization

·      Problem Solving

·      Reality Testing.

·      Emotional Expression

·      Stress Tolerance

·      Interpersonal Relationships

·      Assertiveness

·      Empathy

·      Independence

·      Emotional Self-Awareness

·      Emotional Expression

·      Interpersonal Relationships

·      Independence

·      Impulse Control

An Emotional Intelligence Assessment can be the beginning of a stress free/anger free beginning of a new life with self-awareness, self-control, social awareness and relationship management.

On-Line Anger Management Facilitator Certification Increases in Popularity

While it is not realistic to expect an On-line course for a practice-based training like Anger Management to be equivalent to a live training, the on-line Anger Management Facilitator Certification offered by Anderson & Anderson is exceptional.

Just like the live training, the On-line Facilitator Certification training begins with the popular on-line Bar On EQ 2.0 Emotional Intelligence Assessment. This sets the pace for this exceptional training to provide as many interactive experiences as feasible.

Books, DVDs, along with video taped presentations are used to enhance this popular training.

The cost of the On-line training is $675 and can be accessed at any time.

2013 Anger Management Los Angeles Provider List

Posted on October 28, 2012 

Anger Management Provider List for Los Angeles County

Dear Colleagues,

As we all know, many courts have closed and many courts have reduced their staff including Court Clerks. For providers who rely totally on court referrals, it is probably best not to apply for the new 2013 list.

Anderson & Anderson has greatly expanded our presence on the Internet and is emerging as a leader in Emotional Intelligence Assessments as well as Emotional Intelligence Coaching. Therefore, we have decided to encourage and support providers who are invested in marketing their own programs to business and industry as well as Human Resource Managers in their areas.

This is what we will do for our new list of providers:

• We will only list new providers who support and use Pre and Post Tests.
• Most of the new providers are prepared to move into Coaching for volunteer referrals as well as Middle Managers and line staff from small business.
• Most of the new staff share our vision of expanding our work by aggressively marketing both our assessment expertise as well as ability to offer coaching.
• We have built a new website for the American Association of Anger Management Providers at http://www.aaamp.org.
• We are encouraging all providers to join and take advantage of the free full page ad for all members. Simply visit the website, download  the application for membership as well as the one free page for marketing purposes. Send in your check for Fellow, Regular Member or Diplomate status.
• All providers who use the Bar On EQi 2.0 Emotional Intelligence Assessment will also receive a free listing on the regular section of the Anderson & Anderson Provider list.
• George Anderson will present to the American Medical Association on November 9 in Hawaii. Naturally, this will benefit all Anderson & Anderson providers.

This is what you can do to make real money providing anger management
