How to Control Your Anger: Anger Management Techniques for BeginnersJoan Mullally
Discover what anger management is and how you can use it to prevent your anger from running away with you and causing problems in your career and personal life.
Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic.
