What you'll be able to do
By the end of the 12 modules you will be able to:
- Reset
Calm your body fast when everything feels too loud.
- Observe
Know your own warning signs — hot ears, fists, tunnel vision — before the blow-up.
- Origin
Understand where the volume dial in your house got set.
- Transform
Swap 'they're treating me like a kid' for a response that proves you're not.
- Soothe
Say sorry properly, ask for what you need, and keep a plan for the next hard day.
Progress is measured with the DAR-5 (Dimensions of Anger Reactions), a brief validated anger screening scale, taken before you start and again after Module 12.

Sound Familiar?
These are the things that push you over the edge.
School Pressure
Teachers who don't listen, unfair rules, academic pressure. It feels like the whole system is against you.
Family Conflict
Parents who don't understand, siblings who push your buttons, rules that feel controlling.
Social Media & Online Drama
Cyberbullying, FOMO, comparison culture, toxic group chats. Your phone is a rage trigger.
Friendship & Relationship Drama
Betrayal, peer pressure, romantic rejection. The emotions hit harder than adults realise.
6 Teen-Exclusive Modules
Plus the core 12-module program, designed for your world, not your parents' world.

What You'll Learn
Illustrative Teen Scenarios
Composite examples based on common situations; not individual testimonials.
Situation: Suspended twice for screaming at teachers, parents considering medication
Key insight: The 'Your Brain on Anger' module helped her understand her reactions weren't personal failure; her brain was literally wired for intense emotions at her age.
Developed a classroom regulation toolkit. Zero suspensions since. Teachers say she 'advocates beautifully.'
Situation: Breaking controllers, punching walls during gaming, parents confiscated everything
Key insight: The Gaming Anger module helped him see that the rage wasn't about the game, it was about control in a life where he felt powerless.
Games with a timer and uses the 'pause protocol.' Parents returned his setup. Family conflict down 70%.
Situation: Rage-texting friends, burning bridges, then spiralling into guilt and isolation
Key insight: The Digital Anger module's 'before you send' protocol gave her the pause she needed between feeling and acting.
Rebuilt 3 friendships. Now the person friends come to for advice on handling drama.
