Mindfulness Approach Anger Management
The eight week Mindfulness Approach Anger Management program was recently released to aid individuals in utilizing mindfulness practice as an effective anger management tool. Mindfulness Approach Anger Management combines the skill of contemporary anger management processes with the transformative power of ancient mindfulness meditation. The program was developed by Craig Mollins, a long time student of mindfulness who grew up with chronic anger problems.
The program is divided into two different levels of four weeks each. Each level presents a series of teachings, mindfulness practices, and anger management exercises that combine to help you get at the root of your anger, to unlearn its negativity, and learn how to live your life with more balance and joy.
Research has shown that the majority of anger management programs are effective, and the most important factor in success is how fully the student engages in the program. With this in mind, Mindfulness Approach Anger Management was designed to be user friendly. The program is well laid out with a clear schedule of what you do each week. In this way the program guides you along, which makes you actually 'want' to do the exercises, since you are less tempted to blow it off since you aren't sure exactly what it is you are supposed to do.
There is a significant and growing body of research into the effectiveness of mindfulness for anger management. Mindfulness has been shown to decrease rumination associated with anger, thereby lowering the overall level of anger we experience. Other research shows that mindfulness strengthens our ability to regulate emotions, including anger. In addition, there are numerous studies showing that mindfulness improves the overall quality of emotional well being.
