ABLE COUNSELING ANGER MANAGEMENT :
There are several studies that show the effectiveness of anger management on inmate populations and not the general public. In a recent survey of our own participants, about 96% stated that anger management classes helped them improve their behavior and their relationships. The Able Counseling Anger Management program is effective because the program motivates change in the client. The motivation to change is a strong indicator of a successful anger management program outcome. If the participant recognizes that the behavior is problematic and is seeking to learn how to improve it, our experience has been that anger management classes will help. Able Counseling uses is evidenced based that is empirically validated that has been proven to be very effective.

c). Is Anger good or bad for your health?
The answer to this is fairly obvious, untreated pervasive anger management problems will eventually cause some health problems either physical or psychological. There is a direct connection between being constantly angry, competitive, and aggressive, and early heart disease. For example, recent research suggests that men who have poor anger management skills are more likely to suffer a heart attack before age 55 than their more emotionally controlled peers. A separate study indicated that older male subject's hostility ratings (how hostile and irritable they tend to act towards others) predicted heart disease more accurately than other known risk factors including cholesterol, alcohol intake, cigarette smoking and being overweight.
