WHAT IS EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT IN CONTROLLING ANGER?

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE means being aware of our own emotions and managing our behavior in an appropriate manner based on those emotions AND being aware of another person's emotions and managing our relationship appropriately.

When all the pieces of the puzzle are working correctly, our behavior is positive without aggression and without anger. When it's not our relationships suffer.

Everyone has Emotional Intelligence (EQ) just like everyone has an IQ. However, we aren't all aware of our own emotions or those of the other person.

We need to be more aware not only of our own emotions but also of the emotions of others. This is not difficult but it does take training and is included in our Anger Management program.

Letter From A Student

“I sought the services of Dr. Sinert, because my life and reputation was for the most part in shambles. I was too arrogant to realize that my risky behaviors would result in legal consequences. Whenever my family and friends tried to communicate to me about the ramifications on my behaviors, I would get upset and dismiss them immediately. It took me getting arrested and convicted to finally realize just how arrogant and unprofessional I was acting. I had to pay a considerable price and face some life changing consequences for my actions.

I found myself feeling frustrated, ashamed and an overwhelming sense of hopelessness. I was in serious need to find someone that could help me deal with my increasing frustrations, constant fear and the apprehension about my future.

The time I spent working with Dr. Sinert has taught me some very important life skills. The following skills he taught me gave me the hope I needed to live my life with dignity by controlling my anger: [1] Identify the things that I cannot control; [2] Understanding various ways to cope with irreconcilable differences appropriately; [3] Be accepting of the things that I cannot control [4] let go and move on.
I have learned how to properly channel my anger and communicate effectively to the people that disrespect me or try hurting my feelings. I’m am not exactly sure what the future has in store for me but with the tools and skills that I have learned from Dr. Sinert, I feel a lot more confident in knowing that I am in control of my behaviors and I alone can dictate the course of my actions.” – MC – Las Vegas, NV

A CLIENT'S EXPERIENCE WITH ANGER MANAGEMENT


“My experience with Dr. Sinert's anger management course was in no doubt a great one, and I learned many new helpful tools that I now use on a daily basis. It seems the more I utilize these tools, the sharper and more positive my reactions are to stressful situations that before, would have ended in anger. I no longer feel like a slave to my anger.

I grew up in a world, both socially and athletically, where aggression seemed to be encouraged and rewarded. Yet as I graduated into the “grown-up” world, it became clear to me and others that aggression and anger were the crutch I used to help me walk through a life where stress is a constant. This crutch proved to be a broken one, as my angry and aggressive responses to stress negatively affected more and more personal and business relationships.

Thanks to the Nevada Anger Management program, I now have a dependable crutch based on modern research, explained clearly by Dr. Sinert. I truly got the sense that I learned from the most intelligent information out there. I didn't even have the slightest clue about what was happening in my mind and body in response to an attack; whether it be from a loved one, or a stranger cutting me off in traffic. I even had to learn what constituted an attack! I now look at every attack as a test for being a better communicator and person; and conflict resolution is a much smoother process.

Before taking this course, I really assumed that I was right in my world. That this was who I was, and if you didn't like it, that was your problem. Rarely did I look at a conflict from the other person's perspective. This ignorance has thankfully been removed, and I now know that when I recognize an attack, I can react positively if I utilize what I learned from Dr. Sinert.

This course is complete, and I really think it deals with every aspect of the causes of anger, how to react quickly before access to rational thought is lost, and how to communicate assertively and positively with an “attacker.” I now focus on “me” in dealing with stress and attacks, instead of “you.” There have been many negative experiences in my life and in the lives of others because of my anger, but I can't go back in time to create a new beginning. Thanks to Dr. Sinert and what I learned at Nevada Anger Management, the new “me” can begin today to make a new ending.” BG…Las Vegas, NV

IS ANGER A NORMAL EMOTION?

ANGER is a normal emotion designed to protect us and keep us alive. It should be differentiated from THE ANGRY REACTION which is a behavior pattern that is usually learned in early childhood and which is the aggressive reaction to the perception we are being attacked. That attack is most commonly verbal, but can also be physical, psychological or emotional.

Fear is certainly one of the precursors to the angry reaction (and may be most important) but so are other primary emotions such as frustration, inability to communicate assertively, low self-esteem, lack of empathy for others, unresolved stresses of all kinds, excessive aggressiveness and high levels of deference which is giving your rights to others to make decisions for you which may not be what you really want.

Additionally, some individuals show toxic behavior to others such as controlling, manipulative or other hurtful behaviors which are perceived as attacks.

As humans we fear many things: loss of our lives, loss of our mates, loss of our children, loss of our parents, loss of jobs, loss of our homes, loss of our money...even loss of our freedoms and way of life. Yes, FEAR guides our behaviors in many ways and it certainly is in my opinion the most important factor causing the angry reaction. However, it is not by far the only cause.

Anger Management is not therapy! It is training to teach the angry person the tools necessary to change their behavior. It is NOT psychological counseling or psychiatric treatment with medication unless there are underlying mental conditions.

Just because a person gets angry does NOT mean they are mentally ill or crazy. It does in fact mean they have never learned how to behave appropriately in society.

So every ANGER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM should begin with a written assessment (an examination) which measures certain parameters of an individual's behavior: assertiveness, empathy, stress management skills, interpersonal aggression, deference and their motivation to succeed at making the changes necessary to control their anger. That examination assessment should be administered at the end of the training as well to compare the results to the initial examination.

Lastly, every ANGER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM should include 1) the Tools necessary to control the angry reaction, 2) Stress Management training, 3) enhancing Emotional Intelligence and 4) improving Communication skills. Without these areas of training, anger management would be of little value.

A STUDENT’S TESTIMONIAL

“Before taking this program I felt frustrated and unable to deal with the stress and anger I felt in my day to day dealings with others at work, socially and at home.

During my time with Dr. Sinert I became more conscious of how different circumstances impacted my emotions and also the perception that I had of myself and my general self esteem. He opened the door for me with the right tools to not only better understand myself but also how to deal with the natural feeling of anger and stress in a healthy way. He taught me how to express my feelings and needs in an effective way thereby controlling my anger. Thank you again Dr Sinert for this gift.” AG ,MD

'TIS THE SEASON...

'Tis the season to be happy, jolly and in good spirits. It may also be the season for us to become angry with loved ones, family, friends, co-workers and associates and... well, just about anyone else.

ANGER is a normal emotion designed to protect us and keep us alive.

The ANGRY REACTION is the behavior we use to express our anger and in many cases is inappropriate behavior. It's a behavior we've all learned in early childhood. It's aggressive behavior that for most of us needs to be changed.

The angry response begins with the perception that we're being attacked. That attack can be directed at us or at someone or something we care about. Most commonly, the attack comes at us verbally by someone saying something to us, but also can come at us physically, psychologically or emotionally.

The attacks that we perceive are hurtful behaviors by someone else or by us towards others. If they are towards us we may respond aggressively with the angry response. If the attacks are by us towards others their response toward us may be their own aggressive and angry response.

Why is there so much aggressive, attacking behavior between us? It's because we've never been taught how to respond in a better way. So, someone attacks us and we attack back and vice versa...until you learn about the attacks in an Anger Management program which includes the tools to Gain Control, the tools and methods to manage our Stress, the methods to enhance our Emotional Intelligence and the ways to improve our Communication skills.

It should be noted also that all attacks against us in any form are stresses and we need to learn how to resolve these stresses in a good way.

Anger Management is not difficult to learn but it does take some time and motivation.
