Confronting The Inner Fire – A Testimonial

I enrolled into The WIN Institute – Minnesota Anger Management’s Thursday night Anger Management Class because I had problems controlling my anger. I didn't understand at the time that there are many contributing emotions that lead to my anger. I was short tempered, confrontational, and used put downs and sarcasm when my emotions got the best of me.

The WIN Institute’s website happened to be the website that grabbed my attention most. I was still very sceptical, thinking to myself, "Do I really need this?" I thought long and hard about attending the class. I recalled how my actions had hurt my new marriage, my family, and friends. It finally became clear to me that I needed to make an effort to change my life for the better. I had too many people in my life I was in danger of losing.

I still had my doubts, thinking I was going to be in a class with "Thugs, Creeps and Crazies". I was pleasantly surprised that the class consisted of normal, everyday people such as myself. The group setting made me a little nervous at first, but everyone was there for the same reason (to control their anger). The group worked well together, like a team. In many cases other group members pointed out that they also went through many of the same emotions, and share the same stresses.

Shortly after I started my sessions, I noticed I was implementing the techniques I learned in class. I wasn't getting angry at all the "Little Things" as much as I was before. My friends started noticing a change in me. My relationship with my wife was getting stronger and more intimate. I even noticed I was becoming more productive at work and around the house. That was something my wife surely appreciated.

This class has changed my life. I think joining this class was one of the best decisions I have made for myself. This program is just a tool, and I still need to put in the work myself to make it work.

Thanks Steven, you are a very patient man and a great mentor. I am truly grateful. I wish all my group members good luck. You can do it. --- Ryan, Golden Valley
