Court Ordered Anger Management Intervention – A Testimonial

I came from old family ways and traditional values that taught me to keep family matters “in-house” and not talk about them with anyone else outside of the family. The problem was that we never discussed or resolved any of the issues within my family of origin.

Over time, I became numb and confused regarding my own emotions because of the issues that we did not address that should have been discussed. What I thought was being in control of my emotions was really a way of masking my hurt, anger and frustration regarding unanswered, unresolved issues and questions.

I was court-ordered to attend an Anger Management program due to my prior violent behavior. Before attending The WIN Institute’s Anger Management Intervention program, anger management was not an option for me.

After having completed the 16 week Anger Management Intervention program with The WIN Institute, I have gained a much better awareness of myself and how to communicate assertively while using my anger much more productively.

Prior to attending The WIN Institute program I developed a pattern of internalizing my feelings and emotions which, in many instances, lead to explosive outbursts. My anger was turned inward thru guilt, depression, substance abuse and rejection.

For myself, I have recognized my patterns of negative behavior that lead to abrupt and impulsive choices. Those patterns are now replaced with positive conscious behavior. These new behavioral skills will help me move closer to my life goals and aspirations. --- Jeffrey, Minneapolis.
