Self Esteem and Anger

Self Esteem is the worth or value we apply to ourselves. It’s important that we place value upon ourselves so we feel worthy. Self esteem can fluctuate on a daily basis. This is normal. However, people with low self esteem depend on the present to determine how they feel about themselves.

People with low self esteem are typically unassertive in their interpersonal communications. Lack of assertive skills may tend to cause the individual with low self esteem to hold in their anger. This may lead to an eruption of anger which is often very problematic in their relationships.

The WIN Institute's Anger Management Intervention program provides the necessary tools to be more assertive in relationships. This is one of the behavioral characteristics we measure, by using the Conover Assessment, at the beginning of the course and again at the end of the course so we can measure the client’s improvement.

A recent study of the scores of students who have completed the course showed an average improvement in interpersonal assertiveness over 75%. This may vary from student to student but usually there is significant improvement. An increase in assertiveness will usually go hand in hand with an elevation of self esteem.

A Major Change Has Finally Come -- A Testimonial

There is no greater accomplishment then to have made a voluntary change when you could have chosen to stay in denial for the rest of your life. By completing The WIN Institute’s Anger Management Intervention classes, that major change has finally occurred in my life.

The WIN Institute provided me with many resources, (i.e. “Gaining Control of Yourself” workbook, hand-outs, and an anger log) all of which have helped me to get closer to my goal of maintaining my peace and tranquility in the midst of many stressful situations. I have seen so much growth in myself and my aggression has extremely decreased (it is at a 0 now- based on the outgoing Conover Assessment).

During the course of my time at The WIN Institute, I have maintained good standing at my job, I’ve learned to say “NO” more often in a positive way, and I’ve gained a totally new perspective on my life. Having been apart of this Anger Management Intervention Program has made a huge and positive impact on my life.

I don’t know why I didn’t take these classes a long time ago; they were worth the time and the money. Steven, the instructor, is an excellent facilitator. He is professional, personable, and he connects with all of his participants. He gave us easy and practical examples in class, to bring our workbook alive and he showed us how to apply that same material into our everyday lives.

If you know that your anger is holding you back or stunting your growth, I would strongly encourage you to enroll in The WIN Institute’s Anger Management Intervention Program today and start getting things back on track in your life. We all need some help, some time. Don’t wait until things get really rough to make a change; make a change now. The WIN Institute really brings out the best in you; they challenge you to become the person you want to be and the person that you know you should be. –- B.C., Brooklyn Center, MN
