Cognitive Principle Matrix

2 hour online Anger Management Course

• I worked for 5 years part-time between 2006 and 2010 as a sole counsellor at a drug and alcohol rehab in Springvale.
• There were normally five men in the centre, sleeping two to a room, with one kitchen, one TV and a common area for recreation. They were confined to the house unless there escorted by paid or a volunteer worker to attend appointments or the gym or shopping.
• Most of the men had long term anger issues and using behavioural techniques to change bad habits was very slow. Over the five-year period I developed a new technique for controlling anger using principles rather than behaviour.
• The four main drivers of anger are due to a break down in either trust, respect, acceptance and commitment. I also developed five rules to change bad habits, including anger. The outcome of this was an anger management course based on “Cognitive Principle Therapy” using a matrix of principles. This new technique proved to be highly successful in reducing anger by the end of 2010.
• I started my own business in counselling in 2010 in Glen Waverley, specializing in anger management and couples counselling, where there was conflict. This business has been in operation to the present and I have over 3800 clients who have used my anger course.
• The anger management course has been developed over a 20-year period and uses the latest techniques in counselling. A 21^stcentury, 4^th Wave CBT [Cognitive Behaviour Therapy] model now puts behaviour as the last step in the change process.
