Anger Management supports individuals

Anger Management supports individuals to manage their anger and emotions better, rather than have their anger wreck their lives and health. There is a great deal of stress, anger and road rage in South Africa and an anger management programme can be of great benefit. It can help current problems as well as prevent future problems. Many people associate anger with violence and this is not so. One does not have to be violent to benefit from anger management. Anger management will help everyone express their emotions better, whether they explode or bottle up, rage, or go through life frustrated or resentful.

Think long and hard before having a child with a partner with severe anger problems. Your child might develop the same type of destructive anger problems, which will give you two explosive people in the household to deal with. Or if you divorce, the harassment and manipulation from the angry partner can continue for years over child custody and visitation rights. Before choosing a prospective partner, think "Do I want to have a child who acts like this person?' Some destructive gene pools should not be passed on to the next generation.

The first step towards managing anger in our personal relationships appropriately is the identification of the mistaken attitudes and convictions that predispose us to being excessively angry in the first place!

Anger can be a normal, healthy reaction to feeling frustrated, criticised or threatened. People will either become scared or angry in response to these types of situation. This is known as the 'fight or flight' response. It can also be a secondary emotion that comes straight after feeling scared, sad or lonely. But anger can range from feeling normal annoyance to full-blown rage, which can cloud your thinking and judgement and may lead to actions that are unreasonable and/or irrational.

Observe your own emotions when you are in a frustrating situation. If you see that you are starting to feel too angry, anxious, or guilty, then take a "time-out." A time-out means that you both stop talking or that you separate long enough to think about it, calm down, and get your control back. Time-outs can be effective even if they are only one to five minutes long. Use your time out to clarify what you want or how you want to deal with the other person.

Anger is often associated with frustration - things don't always happen the way we want and people don't always behave the way we think they should. Anger is usually linked with other negative emotions or is a response to them. You may be feeling hurt, frightened, disappointed, worried, embarrassed or frustrated, but may express these sorts of feelings as anger. Anger can also result from misunderstandings or poor communication between people.

When you talk to a prospective therapist, tell her or him that you have problems with anger that you want to work on, and ask about his or her approach to anger management. Make sure this isn't only a course of action designed to help you 'get in touch with your feelings and express them' That may be precisely your problem.
