Low Cost Anger Management
www.AngerManagementSeminar.com has an online anger management course. It shows it is approved by the courts but I would check first before paying. They also show in person Anger Management courses in Tacoma. The cost for on line is $65 and they have a free anger management evaluation. This may not be approved by the courts. If you are just interested in working on your own anger it maybe worth the time to check it out.

I plan to offer Visa/MasterCard as a payment option starting January 1st 2009.
I will be posting my newsletters on my blog to save paper and postage. Please check my blog after the 15th of the month joannewieser.blogspot.com for past and current newsletters.
“Seven Pounds” questioned self forgiveness. I believe this would be an interesting video to watch along with reading the book “The Shack” or “Change of Heart”. The video looks at the moral and spiritual dilemmas of forgiveness. The video is very disturbing and thought provoking. I am sure each person watching it will have their own feelings of how it should have ended.
“Revolutionary Road” could be disturbing to a parent who has lost a child or had an abortion or lost their mother early in life. The couples arguing reminded me of Dr. John Gottman’s 4 Horseman as the couple depicted all 4 in their dance of anger. The video includes scenes of infidelity, domestic violence, chain smoking and drinking. Many of these images could be disturbing. The wife/mother’s behavior toward her daughter could bring up past abuses.
I believe both movies have their merit and I would watch both of them again.
“Just Do It” is about the journey of a young couple with 2 children taking on a quest to have sex 100 days. It has some funny moments and some enlightening information. I think every couple should read it.
