ABC 4 Corners - February 2008

The program saved my relationship and my family. In the course men dealt with not just physical abuse but also verbal abuse, their total attitude towards the way they treated other people.

The program, has provided the following insights for me: “I have choices in life”(we all have life). Behaviour change is up to me.

I would strongly encourage you to do this. Look at it from behaviour change point of view if anger management does not sit comfortable.

I seriously recommend it! As someone who cane from a family where a short fuse was vital and communication skills did not exist, I found it it extremely helpful in understanding how hurtful it can be to my family without being physically violent. It has certainly the best thing I have done to get in touch with my self.

Do it! Initially I thought I was in the wrong place, that there was nothing I could learn from this type of forum-some discussion, some issues seemed not to be relevant. But! Some other components are very worthwhile.

He has more controlled and is less angry and sensitive to things I might say, He does not bite back a easily. His coping mechanisms are a lot better.

He manages his anger. He talks to me about his feelings, which helps him to stay level headed.

His eyes have begun to open and the defences that blocked communication are crumbling.

Manages stress, anger & frustration more effectively. More open about his feelings.

Highly recommend it. It is worthwhile for the entire family, not just for them.

Very good, positive influence helps you evaluate yourself and your situation.

Your partner needs to want to do this program for themselves. Your partner needs to be committed to changing because they themselves want to change.

My partner has never been physically abusive and I have never feared for my safety. However I was not happy with our relationship.

Dear Dave and Jaqui, Watching the documentary tonight really hit home for me. I was in tears when I first watched the trailer and have been every time I have showed it to friends and family, even more tears tonight through the whole film.

On Friday night I witnessed a room full of men reflect on their lives in the most humbling way. Every single one of us has acted in anger at some point.
