What This Course Covers
Our comprehensive curriculum is broken down into modular, actionable steps:
1. The Neurobiology of Anger
- The Brain’s Centers: Learn the “functional dualism” between your logical Cerebral Cortex (the strategy center) and the primitive Limbic System (the emotional center).
- The Amygdala Hijack: Understand exactly how high-emotional charges override your logical brain, causing reactive incidents you later regret.
- The Chemical Aftermath: Discover how a hormonal flush creates a physical state of alarm that can silently impact your mood and body for hours or even days. ⚖️
2. Power Dynamics & Core Boundaries
- The Postures of Power: Evaluate whether you are operating from a place of Powerlessness (blame and self-judgment), destructive Power Over (abusive control driven by inadequacy), or true Empowerment (internal, self-contained strength).
- Trigger Identification: Learn to systematically categorize your anger triggers into three distinct buckets: Irritants (daily friction), Costs (loss of time, money, or face), and Transgressions (broken unwritten rules).
3. Choice Theory & Total Behavior
- The Vehicle Metaphor: Master Dr. William Glasser’s Total Behavior framework, learning how your physical actions (Doing) and thoughts (Thinking) steer your involuntary Feelings and Physiology.
- The 5 Genetic Basic Needs: Discover how starved needs for Survival, Power, Freedom, Fun, or Love & Belonging directly trigger rage.
- The 5 Stages of Love: Navigate the exact structural milestones of connection—Friendship, Trust, Intimacy, Sex, and Commitment—to stop transferring anger onto those you love.
4. Advanced Cognitive Restructuring Tools
- The 4 Stages of Analysis: Master a sequential framework to spot your internal “thinking errors” (like mind reading or all-or-nothing thinking) and build neutral, objective reframes.
- The RCR Integration Loop: Learn the Review, Consolidate, and Record technique to ensure your new insights successfully transition into active physical behaviors.
- The Traffic Light System: Implement a highly effective internal roadway system: stop on Red, evaluate choices on Yellow, and proceed assertively and calmly on Green.
5. Unpacking Shame & Feeling Addictions
- The Compulsive Cycle: Examine the deep psychological link between chronic rage and underlying toxic shame.
- Rage as Armor: Learn how characterological armor uses hostility, sarcasm, and bitterness to keep others at a distance or transfer personal humiliation outward.
- Defensive Cover-Ups: Break free from “feeling addictions” (becoming dependent on a predictable baseline of rage, anxiety, or melancholy to avoid vulnerability) and dogmatic righteousness.
Is This Course For You?
This structured curriculum is specifically optimized for individuals who want to:
- Identify the unique life stressors (sleep, diet, health, social habits) that degrade their emotional boundaries.
- Develop robust internal and external “brakes” to halt destructive impulses before they carry heavy real-world consequences.
- Transition out of reactive patterns and move toward clear, calm, assertive self-regulation.
