ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) for Anger, Resentment, and Conflict Resolution (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

What if anger isn't a problem to extinguish, but a story to understand?

When anger shows up in the therapy room, most clinicians try to calm it, control it, or redirect it. Psychologist and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) expert Dr. Jennifer Patterson offers a different approach.

Rather than relying on traditional "anger management" strategies, this go-to resource uses an ACT framework to help clients make space for their anger, understand what it's pointing to, and respond in ways that align with their values.

Filled with experiential exercises, assessments, case examples, and sample scripts, you'll learn how to help clients:

• Recognize early warning signs of emotional escalation
• Relate to intense emotions with openness and acceptance
• Get untangled from common "anger hooks" that drive reactivity
• Sit with discomfort rather than act on it
• Choose behaviors that reflect their values during conflict
• Set healthy boundaries and repair relational ruptures

Because even when anger is in the passenger seat, clients can still steer their lives toward what matters most.
