“The Five Faces of Anger: Understanding and working with anger in Schema Therapy “
(ONLINE WEBINAR, RECORDING AVAILABLE)
Trainer: Chris Hepworth, Clinical Psychologist, Perth, Australia
Webinar Synopsis
Anger, like all other emotions, has a useful function and is trying to tell us about our needs. Anger can often cause problems for our clients though and in addition can be both triggering for us as therapists and confusing about how to conceptualise and treat within the Schema Therapy model.
In this webinar Chris will discuss the five core different conceptualisations of anger in Schema Therapy, or 8 slightly nuanced anger modes, including how to differentiate between them and treat them appropriately. He will demonstrate through role-play, videos and discussions:
- The “Vent” technique for the Angry Child
- Limit setting and empathic confrontation for overcompensatory anger
- Chairwork and ways to deal with the punitive critic
- The healthy function of anger and increasing and encouraging Healthy Adult expression of anger.
In addition, participants will discuss what different presentations of anger triggers in them, to increase their own self-reflection and awareness, and practice an experiential exercise to try and deal with these triggers more effectively.
This webinar will be recorded. Tickets can be purchased to receive the webinar and view it at a later date (within 6 months of the recording).
All materials and the Zoom link will be sent out 1 week prior to the webinar.
