EMPATHY and ANGER!

Empathy is the capacity to understand, to be aware of, to be sensitive to and in many ways to experience the feelings, thoughts and emotions of another person especially if these factors have not been expressly communicated in an objective and explicit manner.

So, what does this mean?

It means being able to understand what another person is feeling in a conversation with you. If you can’t understand their feelings or thoughts (nor they yours) you could be headed for an angry outburst.

Nevada Anger Management Training Classes begin by first measuring your Interpersonal Assertion, your levels of Empathy and Stress Management, among other factors, by using the short version of the Conover Assessment Examination which will create an Anger Management Map. This map is a useful tool to see where you are at the outset and where you need to focus your new learning.

At the end of the course, the examination is again administered to measure your progress. The measurement of your progress will show how successful the new learning has been in assisting you to understand the feelings of others and in controlling your anger issues.
