Use the weekly plan, worksheets and discussion prompts to run anger management sessions, set reflective homework, or support one-to-one work around triggers, anger styles and emotional regulation. The material is suited to adult wellbeing, recovery and psychosocial support settings where people are learning to notice anger earlier and choose safer responses.
In a community recovery group or counselling programme, facilitators can use CRS.WSM-PFCS-Handling-Anger as a structured anger management programme for adults working on emotional regulation, communication and safer expression of anger. It is especially relevant to PROS or psychosocial rehabilitation settings, wellness self-management groups and practitioners needing anger management worksheets that can be printed and discussed.
The programme outline covers sixteen weekly sessions, beginning with an anger inventory, anger styles and basic coping skills. Later sessions introduce fight, flight and freeze responses, the eight tools of anger control, the anger volcano, thoughts, feelings and actions, anger buttons, identifying emotions, threats, early anger messages, drugs and alcohol, conflict cycles, body language, forgiveness and a letter for letting go.
Practical worksheets include My Anger Narrative, Anger Inventory and What’s Your Anger Style, with sections on locking anger up, turning it loose and managing it. The pages prompt people to identify what they do when angry, how anger feels, what situations trigger it, who they struggle with and what outcomes their anger tends to create.
The psychoeducation is grounded in familiar cognitive behavioural ideas, including Albert Ellis’s A-B-C-D model. It explains activating events, beliefs, emotional consequences and disputing unhelpful self-talk, especially should and must statements. Support workers, counsellors and group facilitators could use it to combine teaching, discussion, role play and personal action planning.
