In the first Anger Management session for Std XII at Dr. Kalmadi Shamarao Junior College, students engaged in an icebreaker activity where they physically experienced tension, setting the stage for understanding anger. The session aimed to foster a positive mindset towards managing emotions, emphasizing that anger, while a normal emotion, can become problematic if not managed properly. Students explored the nature of anger, including its physiological and psychological aspects, and discussed how unmanaged anger can negatively impact relationships, academic performance, and overall well-being.
The session continued with an activity where students identified their common anger triggers using a worksheet. This exercise helped them recognize personal sources of anger and understand that triggers can vary widely among individuals. The discussion and activities made the session interactive and relatable, providing a foundation for the next session, which will focus on coping strategies.
