Anger Management

What does anger management cost?

Instead of wondering how much anger management costs, consider how much ANGER costs.

Have you been arrested? Court fees, attorney fees, and loss of income due to incarceration are but a few of the associated costs. (And many courts tack on a requirement of 10-12 hours of anger management.)

Lost a job? When adding loss of income to the expenses of finding a new job, this can break anyone with less than at least six months’ worth of bills in savings.

Experienced a broken relationship? Impossible to calculate the losses here, especially when children are involved. But if we only consider money, the costs of a divorce can be astronomical.

Been too harsh to your children? While the monetary cost of this may be minimal (unless you wind up paying child support), the long-term emotional costs can devastate you.

Instead of worrying about the “expense” of anger management, consider it an investment in your future.

Does “evidence” of your anger warrant anger management?

Maybe you’ve had to buy a new phone – because you shattered your last one when you got mad at the person on the other end. Or possibly you had to pay an outrageous ER bill after punching a wall.

Perhaps you experienced humiliation and embarrassment when you realized the person you directed your road rage at was your child’s teacher?

Maybe you lose control to rage and are emotionally, verbally, or physically abusive to your loved ones.

Even if you haven’t lost your job or family, does your temper cause your parenting, marriage, relationships, or career to suffer?

Or could you be someone who hurts yourself the most by stuffing your anger?

Anger management can help.

Anger can have serious personal consequences.

Suppressed anger can lead to depression, anxiety, resentment, and a host of mood disorders.

Anger can affect your health, such as high blood pressure, ulcers, or headaches.

It also can lead to suicidal and homicidal thoughts.

Anger management can lead to a path to peace.

It may sound impossible, but there is hope. You truly can gain control of the very powerful emotion of anger with the right anger management.

My name is Dr. Lonnie Bryant, and I know the secret path to finding peace. I offer hope, help, and healing while teaching you the tools you need to find victory.

The first step is to understand the power of anger.

Anger is the second most powerful human emotion – barely beat out by love. All humans experience anger from time to time. The real question isn’t if you get angry – it’s what you do with it.

In and of itself, anger is not the issue. We can be mad at someone or something without causing harm or pain. It’s when we lose control and give in to it that we hurt ourselves and others.

While breaking free from the power of anger is not easy, it is simple.

I can teach you how to master the simple – yet sometimes difficult – steps.

I have personal experience with gaining victory over anger.

As a young doctoral student, I thought my life was perfect. My future was secure. I was pursuing my dream career and happily in love with my wife.

In one moment in time, my world fell apart. I found out my wife was cheating on me.

While this caused me anger, grief, and pain, I found the courage to forgive her. I wanted to hang on to my picture of our future together. I thought she would appreciate my forgiveness and be willing to work on mending our marriage.

I was wrong. She chose him. Talk about anger! All sorts of unhealthy thoughts and desires ran through my head, such as what I wanted to do to her and what I wanted to do to him.

I thought I had reached rock bottom. But again, I was wrong.

Things went from worse to “more worse.” When the seminary found out my wife filed for divorce, they told me I would have to leave school. Turned out, they had a strict policy against divorce.

My rage caused me to seek anger management.

But the anger and pain continued. The urge to release my fury overtook me. So, I decided to make an old Mack truck tire the object of my scorn. Using a sledgehammer, I beat on it and beat on it until my arms gave away.

It felt good.

In fact, it felt so good, the rush of adrenaline sent me running. The next day, I ran again. And the next day, and the next… I’d never been a distance runner, but as I ran and contemplated my life, my future, and my choices, I began to heal.

With my counselor’s help, I found the courage to fight for my right to remain a student at the seminary.

Fortunately, the Ethics Committee decided that since I did not want the divorce and my wife abandoned me, I could stay in school, as long as I remained in counseling.

While the anger I felt for my wife continued, the running helped. Just like Forrest, who began running when Jenny left him, I ran and ran and ran some more. While running, I found the secret of how to gain power over my anger and began to heal.

Fortunately, unlike Forrest, it didn’t take me 3 years, 2 months, 14 days, and 16 hours to find peace and be able to put the past behind me.

It took me four months. That was the day I completed a marathon in under four hours. And when I crossed the finish line, I found renewed peace and joy.

There is hope for you.

Running is not the secret. Although it is one very good way to constructively drain your anger, it’s not enough.

You see, as humans, we are three parts – mind, body, and soul. And you need healing in each of those areas. The running helps the body, as many other activities can as well. But to truly gain control, you must also focus on the mind and soul.

Over the years, I have shared my tools with hundreds of angry people, and they have learned how to break free from the powerful emotion of anger.

In addition, I have helped dozens of people avoid jail or receive reduced sentences by going through anger management with me.

Do you want to learn the best anger management tools?

Are you willing to work through the simple but difficult steps with my guidance and help?

Anyone who says yes can find freedom from anger. Peace, even amid pain, struggles, and life’s letdowns, is possible.

If you are ready to begin the path of victory, I am ready to help you.

For those who are local, we can meet for sessions in one of my offices. But I want to be available to anyone who is struggling with anger, so I am also available for phone or video sessions.
