    What Students are Saying:

    "I think that this program has helped me a lot. I would recommend that you continue to help inmates as well as the public in the free world deal with anger."

               Sean G.,   Arizona D.O.C.

     "Having subjected myself to many years of self-defeating behavior and alcohol/drug addiction, Mike was the first person to break through the hard shell I tried to create and reach the real me that was silently shouting for help. Mike’s tools through his SMARTS-Training has offered me a life beyond my wildest dreams." 

                Rusty P.,  Phoenix, AZ

    "I grew up seeing anger as a lifestyle and I wasted most of my life trying to make the world understand that I was angry for good cause. I believed that anger was the proper response to everything. It was not until I worked my way through Michael Speakman's workbook on the subject, that I even had a clue that my anger could be explained in a way I could understand. And, how I could use some simple exercises to change my pattern of  being angry all the time.

    I can sometimes make my life harder than it needs to be, by trying to take short cuts or skip assigments. When I did that, I didn't learn much or change much. But, when I settled down and trusted the process by completing the workbook assignments and doing the daily exercises...then I got the results of feeling far more peace in my life and my affairs. I found I could change some of the most incapacitating parts of my life and I'm one who never thought I could change."

    Steve Easterling 

    “This invaluable class helped me recognize not only what was causing my anger, but how to address it and how to avoid reacting angrily in the future. Some of the skills I learned have had a huge impact on how I live my life everyday! Thanks so much for making me a happier person.”       

    Mary Westheimer

    "My life was changed by Mike's Anger Management techniques at a very crucial (and painful) time.  I highly recommend SMARTS Training to anyone experiencing the pain of being out of control in any area of life."                            

    Bonnie Neufeld

    "My old ways didn't work. Self-sabotaging behaviors had become a way of life for me. I had learned to blame all of my shortcomings on people, places and things outside of me. With the tools Mike gave me I walk with the confidence of knowing that should something come up, threatening to trigger old behavior, -- I can recognize it -- I am aware. I now have the tools.           

    Taras Wybasczynsky

    "Through Mike's Anger Class, I was able to deal with the anger toward my mother which I had been carrying since I was a child. Today, I have a great relationship with her."
