Conflict Resolution & Anger Control
When a person experiences a shattered dream or loss of hope the immediate resulting emotion is anger. We get angry when our preferred goal is blocked.
It is very difficult to communicate effectively when we are angry and the more unresolved conflict we accumulate the more angry we become. Unresolved conflict leads us in a vicious anger circle that eventually leads to the emotional meltdown of rage.
At Doorway we believe that the culprit of cause as unresolved conflict and the emotion of displeasure displayed is anger. It is not that we don't view anger as a problem but rather a symptom of a much larger problem.
Anger management is better than ignoring our anger but attempting to manage anger without developing a reasonable conflict resolution plan would be like learning to hold your breath rather than learning to swim.
At Doorway we begin by helping individuals, couples, and families develop effective conflict resolution plans.
This process begins with revealing the stages of conflict, understanding primary and secondary styles, getting an accurate picture of our self and those with whom we are in conflict, and developing a written plan of action to resolve our conflict.
This process views anger as the thermometer that measures the conflict level and conflict resolution as the thermostat that controls anger.
