Anger is not anger is not anger. In this session, we will explore how anger is a secondary emotion using Prof. Emery's theoretical framework: five categories of behavioural systems, goals of anger expression and the emotions behind that anger.
So when a mediation participant tells you that they are angry, you will be asking yourself, "What is really underneath their anger?"
Develop mediation mastery with a theory-informed mediation practice. Understanding the theories that underlie our practice as mediators is essential if we want to be coherent between what we say we do and what we actually do. Learning new theories can also benefit our participants in mediation as well as ourselves.
