Joe had an anger management problem. When things did not go his way he often exploded and drove a wedge between himself and all those around him. He recognized this to be a problem but did not know how to change his behavior.

In our collaboration we developed a system that helped Joe be sensitive to the very first signs that he was losing control. Once he became familiar with those warning signals, we worked on ways to allow him to choose to behave differently. Things did not transform over night. There were setbacks and successes. We celebrated both and looked for the learning that each situation had to offer.

After paying exquisite attention to the triggers and the responses that had become blind habits, Joe was able to regain the control that he had lost over his emotions. Now if Joe experiences anger, he does so with intention and purpose; he is no longer held captive by a mindless reaction to a negative stimulus. Now Joe chooses with due consideration and awareness how to respond to each situation that presents itself to him during his busy day.
