Anger Management Certification & Training for Professionals
Neuroscience-Based. Trauma-Informed. Developmentally Grounded.
Imagine a sculptor standing before a rough, unformed block of stone. At first, it’s just mass—heavy and undefined. But in the right hands, with training, patience, and the proper tools, that raw material is slowly shaped into something extraordinary.
That’s what it means to become an Anger Management Specialist.
Many professionals begin with a general or fragmented understanding of anger, its origins, purpose, and impact. Our anger management certification training equips learners with clear frameworks, practical tools, and a developmental lens that supports both the client and the specialist in transformative work.
At the heart of our curriculum is a method we call Psycho-Active Anger Management™. Originally developed by Dr. Richard Pfeiffer, the Anger Management Workbook and Curriculum is considered the industry gold-standard by combining mindfulness, emotional regulation strategies, neuroscience-informed insights and a developmental lens to support lasting integration.
What Makes Psycho-Active Anger Management Different?
Unlike some models that leave a participant with a nebulous understanding of anger, our trainings explore anger as a portal to deeper, more concise self-awareness, emotional repair, and personal evolution. Each participant leaves with a clear understanding of what is anger, how to work with it, and how best to support someone struggling to manage their anger.
This work is ideal for professionals seeking, an Evidence-Based curriculum rooted in brain science, relational insight, and developmental psychology. It is widely used in large state agencies, the US Military as well as clinical practices, educational, court mandates, recovery centers, and peer support settings across the U.S. and Canada.
Participants in our anger management certification online gain:
🧠 A neuroscience-based understanding of reactivity and regulation
🌱 Tools grounded in the Integral Model and developmental frameworks
🧘 Mindfulness and self-regulation strategies
🔎 Insight into shame, shadow, and attachment-driven anger
💬 Communication, conflict resolution, and co-regulation skills
The Work of the Specialist
Like the sculptor, the anger management specialist shapes raw emotion into clarity, expression, and connection. This takes training, supervision, and tools that work in the real world.
Our 12-module curriculum—featured in the Anger Management Workbook—provides a step-by-step map for working with clients and groups in a structured, effective, and human way.
This training changes clients—but it also deepens the specialist’s own capacity for insight, confidence, and presence.
