Take the Test!

Anger can be like fire: good or bad for our survival. Sometimes we learn how to express anger in ways that are not useful. Maybe our parents shut down for a few days and we learned that this was the only way to be angry. Other families may model explosive responses or throw things in what feels like a 0-100 timeframe.

Take this FREE short test to see how your anger may not be working for you. The results may surprise you. If you would like to work on your anger you can use materials at this site and/or take your results to a licensed (LPC or LCPC) counselor in your area at www.PsychologyToday.com.

Processing Model

This "Face of Anger" Processing Model is designed to help you and your counselor to determine steps where you may be "stuck." Using theoretical techniques and interventions, your counselor will work with you to find new ways to move toward resolution by acknowledging and validating your anger.

Christian Anger as SALT: Selecting Anger alignment in Life Transformation

Christian choices for anger conform to a way of life that recognizes Jesus Christ as savior and our thoughts and behaviors as a way to live that life of rebirth. One way to approach anger for a Christian is to consider the biblical passages that reference anger.

In this spirit, Christians (and non-Christians) who are struggling with anger can find resources and commentary here. This section is intended to affirm Christian beliefs related to anger as a way to promote justice in alignment with Holy Scripture.
