This course adapts acceptance and commitment therapy principles to dealing with anger. It teaches readers how to change their relationship to anger by accepting rather than resisting angry feelings and learning to make values-based responses to provocation. It teaches how to accept angry feelings as they occur, without struggling to alter or impede them in any way. Then, using techniques based in mindfulness practice, one learns how to watch their anger without identifying with it. Value-identification exercises help one decide what matters most and then commit to short- and long-term goals that turn these values into reality. In the process, anger simply loses power over life—in the process.
This course is based on the book, Act on Life Not on Anger: The New Acceptance & Commitment Therapy Guide to Problem Anger created by Georg H. Eifert, Ph.D. et al
