The SEPAC Pathway approach.

SEPAC Pathway provides a structured therapeutic approach to support people experiencing difficulties with anger and related behaviours.

The focus is on understanding how anger is expressed, recognising patterns and developing alternative responses.

Managing anger is not simply about trying to suppress it. Understanding how anger develops and how it is expressed can create opportunities to respond differently.

The SEPAC Pathway approach supports people to develop healthier responses to anger through four stages: Acceptance, Discovery, Development and Practice.

    PRACTICE

Therapeutic activities are an integrated part of therapy.

Therapeutic activities are chosen for their purpose, not simply because they feel active. Calming techniques — such as controlled breathing, grounding and visualisation — help reduce heightened emotional intensity in the moment.

Physical activity can also play a valuable role when it's used purposefully, as part of a considered plan, rather than simply as a way to 'let off steam'.

Activities aim to support emotional regulation and healthier responses in real-life situations.
