This educational DVD by facilitator Dr. Joann Petersen will provide comprehensive theory, discussions and exercises. Learn about the physiological roots of Anger, how to separate Anger from Violence and build better relationships. You will also learn healthy and responsible ways to express your Anger, from small irritants to intense emotions and prevent conflict from escalating to Violence.

Dr. Joann Peterson spent more than 40 years developing anger and violence interventions for children and adults. This program is based on Dr. Peterson’s three-day workshop at The Haven Institute and stands in sharp contrast to other anger management programs because Dr. Peterson believes anger is a feeling or emotional response to hurt, fear, frustration, helplessness and loss.
