Anger Coach in the news, community and the web ›
- The Anger Coach was recently interviewed for an upcoming article in the American Chemical Society Careers blog. Titled "Lost Your job? Shed Your Anger Before Seeking Another," the article emphasizes the importance of not taking anger about loss of your last job into new job interviews. The article, written by Patrick Young, will appear on the blog early in 2009.
- The Anger Coach has recently launced a new certification program for anger management community educators. This twenty-hour program is appropriate for anyone who is in the important position of educating youth and others about emotional control, dealing with feelings and positive ways to deal with life stress. The program is appropirate for community educators, teachers, after-school programs, driver's education programs, martial arts schools, home-schooling parents, marriage education programs and many others. This certification is not meant to qualify people to use our model of anger management in clinical situations (such as substance abuse counselors); rather it is meant for prevention and education programs. We are proud to announce that Mental Health Program of The Pasadena School District is the first group of "graduates" of this innovative program. More information by clicking here.
- The Anger Coach is in development of a one-of-a-kind anger control program called Taming The Anger Bee for angry children age 8-13. This DVD program adapts the eight tools of anger management developed by Drs. Fiore and Novick to "kidspeak." The program is lively, interactive and fun for children. It will include a training manual for parents or therapists to work with angry children. Stay tuned...
- The Anger Coach has recently been hired by numerous family-owned businesses in Southern California to help them deal with anger problems resulting in serious verbal and physical conflicts in the workplace. Family-owned business owners and families, especially those going through succession from one generation to the next, are sometimes especially challenged with anger issues because of role conflicts, emotional ties to each other outside the business, and having to deal with "unfinished" family emotional and relationship issues. Anger Consultation can be done in private sessions and/or in our regular anger management classes. More information by calling Dr Fiore at 714-771-0378.

Marriage Breakthrough Seminar › ›
The Anger Coach Marriage Breakthrough Seminar®
by Michele Weiner-Davis
Presented and facilitated by Dr. Tony Fiore, Certified Group Leader, Licensed psychologist and anger management expert.
The Marriage Breakthrough relationship enrichment program was developed by Michelle Weiner-Davis. It is based on the idea that people want solutions to their relationship dilemmas, not a deeper understanding of why they keep getting stuck in relationship ruts. Unlike other relationship programs, this seminar won’t drag you into the past in order to change the future. It won’t ask you to dissect the problems in your life. And most importantly, it won’t require that you wait a long time to see positive results.
The Marriage Breakthrough® program is designed to help you become your own relationship expert within a few short weeks. You will be offered a blueprint for handling conflict constructively and breaking free from unproductive and hurtful ways of interacting. You will be able to put the methods to use immediately.
The Marriage Breakhrough Program® is for people who:
- Want to feel even closer to their partners
- Keep arguing about the same old subjects
- Want tools for breaking free from relationship ruts
- Feel hopeless and are considering breakup, separation, or divorce
- Pre-marital couples who want to make sure their foundation is solid before taking the plunge.
There are a couple more things you need to know about this program. Although it is commonly believed that women are the ones to initiate plans to attend a relationship skill-building class, this is not necessarily so when it comes to the Marriage Breaktrhough® program. That’s because it truly is “male-friendly.” In fact, men rave about it. This is great news because it means that women won’t have to coerce their husbands or boyfriends to participate.
And, the other piece of good news is that the Marriage Breakthrough® program is designed to be effective even if only one partner is willing to attend. In other words, it teaches members how one person can improve his or her relationship singlehandedly! So, you can register and perhaps improve things even if your partner does not want to participate.
What You Can expect To Learn from The Program:
- Why knowing what caused a problem is a waste of time
- How love illusions prevent you from getting more love in your life
- That you can affect change single-handedly
- How to set specific solution-oriented goals
