Sinclair Community College will host a Sinclair Talks presentation based on anger management.
Eric Henderson, a counselor, will present the topic because he feels that it’s important for people to know there are healthy ways to deal with conflicts that arise.
“What they will learn is the cycle of anger — how it works,” Henderson said. “There will be specific ways shown on how to release anger safely; there will also be discussion on conflict resolution.”
He said conflict resolution is oftentimes thought to only exist in intimate relationships, but it actually occurs between friends, family members and other relationships as well.
During the presentation, productive methods for conflict resolutions for all types of relationships will be presented.
“I think there are some people who aren’t aware of how they come across to people,” he said. “They might not be aware of how their anger comes off to other individuals, so I think that this topic is good because it helps people take a look at themselves and how they react to things. They may not be aware that their reactions are higher than what they should be when they can deal with them at a lower level and deal with them in a more productive way.”
Henderson said during the presentation, the cycle of how our thought process affects the way we feel and how we react to things through anger will be addressed.
He said the presentation will also address triggers, relaxation techniques and taking time out for yourself.
Henderson said if a person would like to go more in-depth with anger issues, they are welcome to visit the counseling center in Building 10, Room 424. They are open Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
“The more motivated someone is to make changes, the easier they will be,” he said.
The presentation will take place on April 11 at noon in Building 2, Room 334.
