TRANSFORMING ANGER A Three Day Intensive Program offered by William G. DeFoore, Ph.D.

MAKE YOUR EMOTIONS WORK FOR YOU--NOT AGAINST YOU!

Initial Interview. This is where you will get acquainted with Dr. DeFoore, and the two of you will establish an understanding of your issues and goals. Logistics, timelines and expected results will be discussed, and all of your questions will be answered. This interview will also help you to determine if the intensive program is best suited for your needs. 

Phase One: How did I get here?. This is where you figure out what happened and how it affected you. Your early experiences influenced your view of yourself and your self-worth, your sense of purpose and your place in the world. You have a right to success and happiness, regardless of your past experiences. This phase helps us to form a road map for the rest of the journey.

Phase Two: Revisiting formative experiences. This is where you return to old experiences with new strength, compassion and insight, with the help of your professional guide and confidant. You will literally re-program your emotional brain in this process, replacing anger-producing fear and pain with a lasting sense of peace, healing and love. Your past experiences are transformed into resources for strength and wisdom that you can draw on for the rest of your life.

Phase Three: Release, relief and rejuvenation. Here you will "get to the bottom of things" and begin to feel some relief from the inner tension and turmoil. The healing you are looking for lives inside you, and this process is where you directly contact the source of that healing. You are rewarded for the courage you have shown in making the journey with a burst of energy and enthusiasm for changing your beliefs and behaviors and getting on with your life in a very positive way.

Phase Four: Establishing a new map and action plan. Having loosened the foundational structure of old self-sabotaging processes and unhealthy anger management, you are now ready to pave the way to a new future. You will make new decisions and contract for new behaviors that will anchor and create a lasting foundation for the changes you have made. Healthy anger will become your ally to help you accomplish all of your goals with love, wisdom and strength.

Methodologies Employed: This program is based on and utilizes a variety of powerful and effective methodologies that are integrated and focused in a unique manner to help you accomplish your goals and purposes. Cognitive restructuring techniques, Gestalt theory and methods, Transactional Analysis, Bio-energetics, Voice Dialogue, and Jungian metaphorical processes are combined in such a way as to maximize the participant's resolution of past difficulties and establishment of new and productive behavior patterns. Dr. DeFoore has over 30 years of experience in these and related areas.

Program philosophy and orientation: This program is based on the assumption that you have an inherent meaning and purpose for your life, whether you are aware of it or not. A spiritually based sense of commitment to this meaning and purpose enhances progress and success in all aspects of life, and will only be addressed with the utmost sensitivity to your unique beliefs and experiences. 

Follow-up: You will have several weekly follow-up sessions after the program is completed, to make sure that you get to keep the lasting benefit of your good work. These follow-up meetings can be either in person, by telephone or email. 

Effectiveness and results: The Transforming Anger program will provide you with the skills you need to accomplish your goals. Results and effectiveness of the program depend almost entirely upon whether you 1) are deeply committed to change 2) are ready for change, and 3) have the discipline to follow-through on your new decisions for change and professional growth. You will be challenged with the burden, freedom and power of individual responsibility in each aspect of your personal and professional development. 

Cost: Transforming Anger is a twelve session intensive conducted personally by Dr. Bill DeFoore. It usually occurs over a period of three to four days. The fee of $2,700 is payable at least two weeks in advance. Other sessions are billed at $150 (individual) and $185 (couple or family) for each 50-minute session. These sessions may be conducted by telephone or in person. Contact us for directions to the office. We will also help you with making reservations for accommodations if you come from out of the area.

Consider this an investment in yourself, your loved ones and the rest of your life!
