Homework Due 17 January 2016

This week we have been working on understanding our anger.  I passed out several handouts last week and all of them are available either as links on the right or as links in this page.

In addition, I've linked some thought provoking articles on anger here, and here.  An article by Gary Brainerd, PhD called Nature's Plan for Emotional Healing might also be of interest to you.

The homework this week is:

1. Read Chapter 4 in the Strengthening Marriage manual
2. Record at least one instance on the Anger Log
3. Review and fill in most or all of the "Identifying Anger Cycle" handout
4. Take a look at the Eight Basic Emotions Handout and think about it.  Is any of this information new? Useful? Interesting? 
5. Take a look at the Your Own Emotion & Carried Chart and think about it.  Do you have questions or thoughts to discuss with your partner or in class?  

Last week's homework, if not already completed is:

1. Complete the two assessments, place in a manila envelope with your name on the outside, and return to Kristen
2. Read Chapter 1
3. Review class rules (posted in the earlier blog entries)
