Anger Management – Module 9: The Triple A Approach – Case Study

Case study. Helen’s boss was the type of person who could not be managed by anyone, but also who used to oppress his employees. After being treated in a bad manner for many months, Helen finally decided that it was time for her to take action. She knew she couldn’t afford to lose the job, so she made some research and found out about the triple A approach from her aunt. It works by making a decision on whether to alter, avoid, or accept the situation. The principle is simple and manage to pay off regardless of which of the As put into use. By trying to alter the situation that her boss put her into, but also avoiding the worst and accepting the ones which couldn’t generate a scandal allowed Helen to continue working without facing many problems, while she also started to have a bit more influence on the decisions that her boss made and how he approached her.
