The most important thing I learned: I guess the thing that most stands out for me is that anger and its responses seem to be quite rational when studying about them in a calm frame of mind. However, it is almost unreal how the emotional impact of anger can cause a rational concept to become so irrational so quickly. Obviously, the key is to stop and think of this information and concentrate on R.E.A.C.H. to prevent a volatile situation from occurring.

The R-E-A-C-H approach
FireWorks organizes anger management skills into a sequence called R-E-A-C-H.

R: Recognizing (two skills)
E: Evaluating (four skills)
A: Assessing (four skills)
C: Choosing (thirteen skills)
H: Honoring (eight skills)

Each point in the sequence consists of one or more skills. The skills are like tools. They are not a script that you have to follow.

Do you think all skills could work in all circumstances?

yes
no
