ANGER MANAGEMENT

What’s Included:

 

Anger is often misunderstood as a simple loss of control, when in reality it is a complex emotional and physiological response shaped by beliefs, triggers, unmet needs and learned patterns. This CPD Masterclass gives practitioners a clear, structured understanding of anger and teaches you how to work safely, confidently and effectively with clients who struggle with irritability, frustration, explosive reactions or suppressed anger. You’ll learn how to identify triggers, interrupt escalation, regulate the nervous system and use hypnotherapeutic interventions to support healthier emotional expression and behavioural change.

 

​
​​​​You’ll explore:

​​​​​​​​

• Understanding anger
  What anger is, how it develops and why it becomes problematic for some clients.

​

• Types of anger
  Explosive anger, simmering resentment, passive‑aggressive patterns, suppressed anger and chronic irritability.

​

• The physiology of anger
  Fight‑flight activation, adrenaline surges, autonomic arousal and the body’s escalation cycle.

​

• Cognitive components
  Beliefs, interpretations, injustice narratives, entitlement, catastrophising and rigid thinking styles.

​

• Emotional underpinnings
  Shame, fear, hurt, rejection sensitivity and unmet needs that sit beneath anger.

​

• Behavioural patterns
  Outbursts, withdrawal, stonewalling, aggression, avoidance and compensatory behaviours.

​

• Triggers and maintaining factors
  Stress, relationship dynamics, past experiences, learned responses and environmental pressures.

​

• The anger cycle
  How thoughts, sensations and behaviours escalate — and how to interrupt the sequence.

​

• Assessment and risk awareness
  Identifying severity, red flags, safety concerns and when to refer to other professionals.

​

• Nervous system regulation
  Grounding, breathwork, somatic calming and sensory‑based techniques to reduce arousal.

​

• Hypnotherapeutic interventions
  Techniques for emotional regulation, reframing, impulse control, confidence and behavioural change.

​

• Cognitive and behavioural strategies
  Challenging distortions, building tolerance, improving communication and developing alternative responses.

​

• Working with suppressed anger
  Helping clients access, understand and express anger safely and constructively.

​

• Working with explosive anger
  De‑escalation strategies, early‑warning signs and building self‑management skills.

​

• Anger in relationships
  Understanding patterns, triggers and communication breakdowns within relational contexts.

​

• Lifestyle and supportive approaches
  Sleep, pacing, boundaries, stress reduction and habits that complement hypnotherapy.

​
