Anger in it’s varying degrees is constantly in the media at the present.
- Anger in personal relationships (James Kerr and Matthew Johnstone, the Daily Mail)
-
The independent reporting the betrayal felt by domestic violence victims on the 3 March (Financial constraints means the closing of sheltered accommodation for DV victims).
-
Sky news highlights the proposed ‘trial’ that will allow Men and women to be given the right to ask police if their partner has a history of domestic violence.
60% of attendees to our programmes recognise that their anger stems from their personal relationships – either with partners or children 20% directly relate their stress to professional relationships 90% of those receiving treatment reported having being bullied at some stage and have gone on to victimise others 95% of those in attendance suffer from shame disorders where they believe that something is wrong with themselves – or, in simpler terms, that they are broken
There is no doubt that these statistics are bleak, demonstrating what a huge concern anger and stress are in the UK and what a large percentage of our population these disorders are affecting.
