Anger Management Group for Women

Posted on February 9th, 2006

Anger Management Group for Women at the Packanack Lake Community Church Tuesday evenings 7:15 - 8:45 p.m. Contact: Penny Gadzini, M.Div., Leader, 973-696-3232 $25/session

To compliment Dan Shenk’s popular anger management group for men, Penny Gadzini will be leading a group for women. In a safe group setting, women will begin to explore the richness and challenges of their emotional lives, focusing on anger. We will explore the function of anger, how it serves us and how it can get us into trouble, triggers for anger, exercises that will improve the participant’s awareness of the bodily sensations involved in anger thereby increasing the possibility that participants will be able to choose how they act when they are angry. We will also explore strategies for de-escalating anger and making choices to better achieve our objectives.

Compassionate and skilled support will be provided with the goals of achieving greater freedom in decision making and reconnections in troubled relationships and the opportunity to live more creatively.
