Anger isn't the problem. What we do with it can be. Cooling Point helps teens and adults see what's under their anger, notice it early in the body, cool down with a real timeout plan, say what they need without exploding or shutting down, and repair after a blowup. Plain language, no shaming, with a weekly tracker and a wallet-size cool-down card.

Informed by

From the PDF’s evidence snapshot (page 2): A meta-analytic review found that anger treatments, including cognitive behavioral approaches, produced moderate improvements on average (Del Vecchio & O'Leary, 2004, Clinical Psychology Review, PMID 14992805). Safety first: if anyone is being hurt or threatened, get to safety and contact local emergency services.
