These role models are primarily strong individuals who taught incorrect defensive mechanisms through their own conduct. This means adults often lack the cognitive ability to think through situations. They often respond with inappropriate personal management skills. They instinctively seek the fastest way to defend themselves from attitudes and behavior viewed as unpleasant. We help adults identify the defensive postures they take when feeling threatened.
Rage takes control of the adult, and in turn, the adult uses that rage to control others.
We provide the tools to promote thinking before reacting. One behavior we stress is listening. Good listening skills combine silence, an open mind, body language, eye to eye contact, and holding your temper. We help you understand that no matter how irrational the situation may seem, if you listen, you can develop understanding to help you solve the problem by thinking through it, not reacting emotionally to it.
