Press Release Summary = Couples struggling with ongoing conflict and frustrated with
failed couples counseling turn to Carlos Todd, LPC,NCC,CAMF for help to resolve the
problem of anger in their relationship. Carlos Todd is the Founder of Todd's Anger
Management Solutions located in Charlotte, NC and has been doing innovative work
using the Anderson & Anderson anger management model to do what marriage counselors
sometimes fail at--resolve martial conflict

Press Release Body = Charlotte, North Carolina--July 12, 2007. The Anderson and
Anderson anger management model has been used for more than a decade as a solution
for individuals and organizations globally to resolve anger management problems.
However Carlos Todd has found an innovative way to use this model with couples who
have ongoing marital conflict.

The Anderson and Anderson anger management model has unique components which make it
ideal for couples. It is important to note that this model is not a counseling
model. It is a model used exclusively in the delivery of anger management classes
and executive coaching. The same holds true when working with feuding couples; the
intervention is not counseling. It is a class that assesses areas of deficit in
managing anger and prescribes clear, specific behavioral interventions to facilitate
change.

The model uses the Conover Assessment which is an anger management` map that
provides information on the client's level of interpersonal aggression,
assertiveness skills, empathy, stress, interpersonal deference, and desire to
change. The information provided in the assessment is used to provide interventions
in the four key areas of the model-Communication skills, Anger management, Stress
management, Emotional intelligence (CASE)

Couples have observed that from the point of the assessment they acquire a clear
picture of the source of the conflict and are able to work towards a solution using
the easy to follow workbook Gaining Control of Ourselves. Each couple is provided
with a custom intervention plan that will focus on 1-4 components of the model. Many
couples consider emotional intelligence as a must in this program. The sessions
conclude with a post test to asses the level of improvement.

Calls for couple's anger management often come from wives who are also encouraging a
reluctant husband to participate in anger management. The unique aspect of the use
of this model is that it is non-threatening to men. This is because it is a class
that is very structured and does not involve probing into heavy emotional issues
which makes it attractive to men. It also keeps the male's interest throughout the
entire process. This is a major breakthrough in working with couples and anger
management.

The projection is that interest in this model for couples will grow exponentially.
Todd's Anger Management Solutions will continue to innovate and working with couples
who often call its offices deeply concerned that if the anger in their relationships
is not resolved deeper scars related to a failed marriage and hurt children will be
the result.
