Elena has recently been convicted of criminal damage and assault following a road rage confrontation. She reports that she experiences a rapid heart rate and a surge of adrenaline whenever she perceives that other drivers are 'deliberately blocking her' or 'driving too slowly'. She interprets this behaviour as a personal insult and reacts by tailgating, shouting, and eventually initiating a physical confrontation.
With reference to the scenario, describe how a cognitive behavioural intervention (such as an anger management programme) could be used to help Elena address her offending behaviour.
