Anger Management Issues

"I recently attended the Self Awareness Workshop (SAW) hoping to understand issues related to my anger, and how it lead to my wife asking for a separation. After 17 years of marriage, culminating in almost three years of therapy, individual sessions with a marriage counselor, and a number of conversations with my priest, what I got at SAW was amazing, and it was the one thing that has helped me more than the hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars I've invested in "fixing" myself and my anger problem."

"It has been the most enlightening, exhilarating, experience I think I've ever had. I came away wanting more. I had no idea I had all of that in me and thank you for showing me a responsible way of letting my feelings or resentment and anger out. I came away feeling like this is the first day of the rest of my life. I feel empowered and armed to handle much more. I would like to take this to the next level."

"My son Logan's death was not of natural causes; Logan was killed January 14, 2003. At the moment I heard about his death, my life was forever changed. I could not comprehend what I was hearing and it all seemed as if it was a terrible nightmare. From that day forward, I have been wanting answers as to how this terrible tragedy could have happened, who was responsible for taking my sons life; my first born, taking him away from me, his sister and all his family and friends. When all of my friends and his friends found out about Logan's death, of course there were the normal condolences, and sympathy cards sent to our home.

One thing that I kept hearing from several people is that things happen for a reason. So, if that is the case, what is the reason for my son to lose his life, in the prime of his life? I couldn't think of one reason and the more I heard this, the angrier I got. One day I got clear that my daughter needed some help dealing with the loss of her brother. I chose to contact Andrea Lambert. We set up an appointment. At the appointment she informed us as to what it is that she does and how she achieves it. The Self-Awareness Weekend. I liked the idea and signed up my daughter. After she completed the three-day program, I could see a definite difference in her. Attitude, mannerisms, everything. It was great. She was able to release a lot of her anger and understand how to deal with rising emotions of anger in the future.

Once I saw this, I knew it was my turn to experience what she had since I myself was not dealing with the loss very well. I contacted Andrea, we set up an appointment and I signed up for the weekend. I was experiencing a lot of emotional breakdowns at work and home. I was angry with a lot of people for no apparent reason. What I learned in the Weekend was that it is okay to be angry and discover where your anger initially comes from. I thought my anger stemmed from the fact that my son was gone and I would never have the opportunity to tell him again that I loved him, never hear his voice, his laugh, receive another Mothers day card from him, birthday card, spend the holidays with him. All the things we tend to take for granted until something happens that makes us say, I wish this or that. Yes, these are all valid reasons for being mad. During the process, I discovered that my true deep down anger was directed towards the truck driver who was driving the truck that ran over my son. With the processes and tools we are given in the Weekend to manage the anger, I was able to release my anger, and with that start the healing process. I can't say that I will ever be able to forgive this man for what has happened. I know he suffered a great deal once he was aware of what his actions caused.

Since the Weekend, due to the release of my anger, and my understanding of what I can control and what I can't, I no longer have emotional breakdowns as often as I did. I have learned to put anger in the perspective that it belongs. Yes, I had issues to resolve about my childhood, but this anger, so fresh, so real, so current, has been the most devastating anger any person could hope to experience in a life time and I am now free of it."

"Before deciding to attend the SAW weekend, I was having about 3 or 4 panic/anxiety attacks a week. It's now Friday after the weekend and I haven't had an attack since. It's a major feat for me to go 5 days without having an attack. The SAW weekend was Awesome! I was so very skeptical on Friday afternoon. I was thinking to myself "inner child" no way. By Sunday afternoon, I was positive I had an inner child and now I talk to her all the time. The weekend has also helped my marriage because I now feel like I'm an equal to my husband. We can talk about anything and I now have the tools to rationally talk to him without getting angry or walking away. The SAW weekend was the most important decision I have ever made in my life."

"This weekend filled a very great personal need for me. Old behavior was harassing and frightening others. Thorough the work of the weekend, I feel much more comfortable with myself and am now in control of my anger and actions."
