Pavel Somov – Anger Management Toolbox

Pavel Somov – Anger Management Toolbox

• Step-by-step solutions for transforming the harmful poisons of anger, fear, and righteousness into self-awareness, compassion, and long lasting behavioral change
• Help the client not just “handle” anger but to use that anger as a path toward deeper self-awareness, self-acceptance, and virtue
• Jumpstart the hard clinical work of anger management using an original, four-session mindfulness path to motivate change

Anger management expert and author, Dr. Pavel Somov has created a four session anger management program for these difficult to treat clients. This humanistic and solution-focused approach introduces four core mindfulness-powered change modalities: Impulse Control Training, Choice Awareness Training, Symbolic Threat Inoculation and Somatic Emotional Self-Regulation Training. These sessions are designed to quickly capitalize on the clinical encounter and make the most clinical mileage out of short-term anger management treatment. Jumpstart your practice and gain the skills necessary to frame clinical objectives in a motivationally-enhanced, ego-syntonic and nonthreatening manner.

You will also explore six anger management interventions for long-term treatment clients, including those with the latest research findings in neuroscience on mirror neurons. End the recording with a discussion of various Eastern methods of keeping calm and cultivating compassion.

• Define anger problems in a humanistic and compassionate way that assures rapport and treatment compliance.
• Apply mindfulness-based impulse control training as part of short-term anger management.
• Implement exposure-based interventions for disapproval inoculation and ego strengthening.
• Use choice awareness training as a way to assure long-term behavioral changes.
• Practice neurobehavioral empathy training to promote relational stability and compassion.
• Utilize precedent analysis and trend analysis as part of homework review to assure progress and treatment compliance.
