Anger is an emotion. But simply referring to anger as an emotion doesn’t help most people understand how overwhelming anger can be. So let’s think of it as a reaction—or one of the ways our minds and bodies react when we perceive a threat. 

Anger management is the way we handle our anger, and help others deal with theirs. But typically, what people mean when we say anger management, is anger management class. MadLessons anger management class is mostly about practical education—or skills development.

Trauma-informed anger management is a way of dealing with anger that accounts for how trauma re-shapes our ability to understand and relate to ourselves, and others. In other words, understanding how traumatic events affect people gives us an opportunity to be more mindful, creative and effective.

What makes MadLessons different is its approach. Rather than treating anger as a personal problem that can be fixed with facts, and just talking about feelings, MadLessons takes a more comprehensive approach.

Anger affects how we feel, think and what we do—often at the same time. Anger is also a normal, often necessary reaction that helps unlock the energy we need to make change. So anger isn’t the problem. It’s what we do with anger’s energy that makes us part of the problem.

In addition to helping people understand the nature of anger, Madlessons is about helping people do something constructive with anger’s energy—thereby making them more effective in provocative situations.
