WHO ARE OUR CLIENTS?
Our clients come from every walk of life: average men and women just like you, husbands and wives, boyfriends and girlfriends, male or female gays, adolescents and even senior citizens.
And it matters not what education level you have attained. People with elementary and high school, college, graduate school, law school and medical school all exhibit Anger and the Angry Reaction.
My client list includes average people, students, educated people, physicians and attorneys, scientists and, yes, even several PhD’s.
We offer a skill enhancement program divided into four components: the first is Gaining Control where we teach you the tools necessary to control your behavior. This is akin to the first aid for anger; next is improving your Stress Management skills. Again we teach you the tools necessary to control your stress; this is followed by learning about Emotional Intelligence (EQ).
Emotional Intelligence means your ability to understand and be aware of your own emotions and managing your behavior accordingly, as well as your ability to understand the emotions of anyone with whom you’re in any kind of relationship and managing those relationships appropriately; lastly, we teach about Improving Communications, how to speak clearly and honestly, how to be assertive, how to listen actively and how to carefully acknowledge another person’s communications.
When a problem exists in any or all of these four major areas, the resultant behavior can be the angry reaction which in many cases may be catastrophic and violent, placing our relationships, our families or even our marriages and intimate relationships in jeopardy.
Anger is a normal emotion designed to protect us and keep us alive.
The Angry Reaction is the way we exhibit Anger the emotion. This reaction is an automatic behavioral pattern learned early in childhood which remains with us as we grow older into adolescence and adulthood.
The Angry Reaction is a memory in our brains which exhibits itself ONLY when we sense we are being attacked (hence the protection mentioned above). This memory will remain with us for our entire life.
The problems begin and continue when the Angry Reaction becomes aggression towards the person attacking us. This reaction cannot be removed from our memory. However, we can create new behaviors and memories which give us options for better, less angry and more controlled behaviors.
Getting your anger and angry reaction under control takes time. Our program is ten sessions long. It begins with an assessment examination measuring your Assertive skills, your Empathy level, your Stress Management skills, your interpersonal Aggression level, your level of Deference and your Motivation to succeed to improve your behavior. At the end of the last session we repeat the assessment examination to measure the improvement.
Isn’t it time you got your Anger under control? Isn't it time to improve your relationships? Isn't it time to have a better life?

A CLIENT'S TESTIMONIAL
Dr. Steven Sinert’s program in Anger Management has enhanced my life. I’m basically a good person, but I had a temper. People could push my buttons and get me to respond with anger. The worst part is that it would then make them look like the victim.
Dr. Sinert has taught me how to handle situations like these. He has taught me how to keep myself calm, and then respond appropriately. After I took Steven’s course I utilized his techniques when someone was trying to be very controlling and offend me. When I responded as Steven had taught me, the person ended up getting so angry that he lost his temper and stormed out, while I stayed calm.
As an attorney dealing in family law, matters can get very emotional. Sometimes the attorneys can get angry as well. In the past I reacted badly to matters like this, and found myself yelling and screaming. After one hearing, my boss made me send an apology letter to both the judge and the opposing attorney. Since taking Steven’s course, I have been able to stay calm even when other people in Court are screaming at me.
Just this past week I had situation that could have been resolved if the parties could just sit down and talk for a few minutes. The attorney who represented the other side wanted it to appear that we had been uncooperative, and then asked the Judge to order us to pay his attorney’s fees because we were the ones who had been uncooperative.
When one of my law partners tried to speak to him, the other attorney insulted my partner and my client. My partner ended up hanging up on him. Before we went to Court, I asked the attorney if he and his client would sit down with me and my client and my other partner. I calmly led the discussion.
The other attorney started insulting my client, and then screaming and swearing at my client and my other partner; and my client and my other partner stood up and argued back. I kept asking everyone to calm down, while I worked on solutions to settle the matter. By the time we went before the judge, my client and the mother of his child had agreed to everything, with the exception that the other attorney still wanted my client to pay his fees.
He tried to argue to the judge that we were the losing party because w ehad come to an agreement with him. The judge completely disagreed. The judge ordered that because everything had been settled, there was no losing or winning party, and he did not award the attorney the fees he had been seeking.
If not for the techniques that I had learned from Dr. Sinert's program, I might have been goaded into anger. Instead my calm demeanor made both me and my client successful.
I am also very grateful for how Steven’s techniques have improved the way I interact with people outside of work. I was known at synagogue for occasionally losing my temper. Now I am able to stay so calm that my rabbi has asked me for advice on how I stay so calm. My wife also is very happy with what I have been taught by Steven in dealing with difficult issues.
I will always be extremely grateful for everything that Steven has taught me, and how he has helped to improve my life. I cannot recommend his anger management course highly enough. Anyone who follows Steven’s teachings will be sure to find themselves and the people with whom they interact much happier in life.

A CLIENT's TESTIMONIAL
Not only did Dr. Sinert's Anger Management Class assist me in controlling my anger. It also helped me improve my relationships with other people.
The class taught me new techniques on how to handle anger and stress. The class also taught me how to communicate more honestly and assertively in my every day relationships.
The class taught me skills in empathy and emotional intelligence.
I think that everybody could use a class like this as communication is one of the most important skills we have to learn. Many of the techniques taught in this class I have never been taught before.
Again, thank you, Dr. Sinert, for all your help.

WHEN DO I GET THE MOST CALLS FOR ANGER MANAGEMENT?
Interestingly, most of the inquiries I receive for ANGER MANAGEMENT are on Mondays or on the days right after a holiday like Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Years.
The weekends and holiday periods are usually spent relaxing and inter-relating with our intimate partners, family and friends. Sometimes alcohol is part of the celebration of time off from work and relaxing. Alcoholic beverages (which reduce our inhibitions) also limit our connectivity between the limbic system (the emotional part of our brain) and the rational part (the thinking part).
We tend to become more angry at these times, hence the increased number of calls following the weekends or holidays.
If you notice more anger over weekends or holidays, call me. I can help.

THE EMOTIONAL BRAIN and THE RATIONAL BRAIN
The human brain has many intricate parts. It is a very amazing computer. There are a few parts I'd like to talk about here.
One part is the rational or THINKING BRAIN where our thought processes reside. The other part is the EMOTIONAL BRAIN, also known as the LIMBIC SYSTEM, where our emotions live. Anger is one of those emotions. The emotional brain is deep within the rational brain.
When we sense we're being attacked either verbally, physically or psychologically or emotionally, the specific part of the emotional brain known as the AMYGDALA hijacks or shuts down the thinking brain. That's why we may find it difficult or even impossible to recall the details of our angry response or the argument that caused us to get angry in the first place. This shut-down of the thinking brain is a disconnect of the two parts. It's almost like pulling the plug on your computer: it's still sitting exactly where it was however it's just not working.
When this disconnect of the thinking brain occurs, the emotional brain takes over the protection of our bodies and ANGER comes to the surface in order to protect us. Anger is a protective and quite normal emotion. This response occurs very quickly, perhaps in as little as 1 - 2 seconds.
The ANGRY REACTION is a behavioral response we learned as a child when we saw attacks upon others, usually in our families. This is a record of those events, a memory if you will, and is fully set with in us by age two - three.
We carry this response, this behavior, into our adolescent and adult years and it serves to protect us when we're attacked throughout our lives.
However, that response in many cases is in-appropriate behavior.
So what do we need to do to help control our anger?
We need to learn about those attacks coming at us, how to instantaneously recognize them, how to reconnect the emotional and rational parts of the brain and we need to learn new behaviors so we will not get angry with that maladaptive behavior when attacked. Remember we only have 1 - 2 seconds before we get angry. We don't have the time to think about the attack or how we should respond.
Our ANGER MANAGEMENT program teaches how to reconnect and what we need to know to control our STRESSES, enhance our EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE and improve our COMMUNICATION skills. With this knowledge, our new behavior will become automatic so we don't really have to think about it.

HOW DOES OUR SELF ESTEEM AFFECT OUR BEHAVIOR?
SELF-ESTEEM means how an individual feels about their self-worth. If they have low self-esteem they tend to hold things in. People are generally not assertive with low self-esteem and as a result they may not know how to express their feelings and needs. Even in those who do know how, fear of hurting another person often prevents them from being assertive in their communications with others.
The only time we get angry is when we sense we're being attacked. Those attacks are most commonly verbal attacks, but can also be physical or psychological or emotional.
Attacks are hurtful to us. If we are unable to express our feelings of hurt, and our needs, to the individual attacking us how are they supposed to know what we feel and need? The answer is they may not and as a result will continue to hurt us, causing us pain and anger.
When people are plagued by low self-esteem and they're not assertive, they will generally hold their anger in instead of expressing it in an appropriate manner. When this happens the stress of the attack and subsequent anger will build pressure within them, much like the lava in a volcano building pressure, and the next time or at some subsequent time, they will explode in rage, a serious form of anger.

OUR BUILT IN STOP SIGN!
We have built into us and automatic STOP sign which sets limits on our behaviors. This stop sign is called FEAR!
As humans, we fear many things: the loss of our lives, our health, our husbands and wives or other mates, our parents, our children, our jobs, our homes, our money...even our freedoms. Fear is the most important factor in creating our anger.
Often, we are faced with making changes in our behaviors but fear will prevent us from doing this because we don't know how we'll respond with the new behavior.
Don't allow your fears to control and guide your behaviors! The next time you get angry, take a deep breath and ask yourself, "What am I afraid of?" Then try and put that fear to rest and get back on track with your life without anger. If you need help, please call me.
