Episode Description
Have you ever wondered why some people are more hot tempered than others? Or, why, when you find yourself angry you can't stop from making rash decisions? Perhaps you know a foster kid, or kids from broken homes that struggle to manage their rage and frustration at their circumstances. Maybe your spouse is so out of control that it is difficult to communicate with them. This week we will feature Susan Steele, a certified Anger Management Counselor and Behavior Health Specialist for adults and at-risk children. Susan owns her own agency, where she conducts counseling to those who have an issue stemming from anger in their life. She also assists with stabilizing youth in short term residential treatment programs. Susan will discuss what causes anger, the difference between anger and rage, how we process anger, and why certain things trigger a reaction. She will talk about how to deal with young people with anger issues, as well as how to learn to manage our own anger.
