Anger Management Worksheets

There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to anger management worksheets. Quite simply, a successful worksheet will touch on the client's honest thoughts and feelings and engages valuable reflections for the client to integrate with an anger management treatment. It's important that the client is engaged, in a good headspace, and capable of recognizing their expressed behaviors.

An anger management worksheet is completed by the client, however, the mental health practitioner may choose to complete the worksheet with the client during the session. This is perfectly fine, however, the client must be the one driving the worksheet and is in control of the thoughts that are written down on paper.

Sometimes discussing anger management can provoke the client, and remind them of upsetting memories. If this is the case, and the client looks visibly distressed, then take a step back, and consider returning to the worksheet another day. This indicates that the client is not ready to express their thoughts and feelings and that further preventative steps need to be taken in order for them to feel comfortable completing the worksheet. Consider breathing techniques, as well as other cognitive behavioral therapy exercises.
