How is Anger Management Different from Domestic Violence?

The experience of anger found in partners that are intimately involved can be very complicated.  Once physical and emotional abuse is integrated into the patterns, habits, and behaviors of a family, it is dramatically more difficult to stop.  In stark contrast, when an explosive altercation occurs with a co-worker, neighbor or distant acquaintance, addressing the triggers and identifying state or trait issues is more specific and typically does not involve the depth taken in a domestic violence program.
