Anger Management Support Group
Anger management commonly refers to therapeutic techniques by which someone with excessive or uncontrollable anger can control or reduce their emotions. Typical examples include the use of deep breathing and meditation as a means to relaxation. Psychologists recommend a balanced approach, which both controls the emotion and allows it to express itself in a healthy way.
I have not had any episodes where I felt extremme rage until a few evenings ago.I was on the phone with an old friend of mine and without going into alot of details and history he made a snide remark that he has repeated on the phone before, directed at my wife.I got so mad to the point that I threatened him with bodily harm. I told him the only reason i was not going down there to beat him was because we had been friends so long but I also warned him that I would if I ever heard that from him again i would go and kick his rear.The troubling part to me is that I believe that if he were here in front of me instead of on the phone I probably would have done it.Thankfully my more rationale self prevailed but sometimes I feel that I could get upset enough to ring his neck.
This particular friend I mentioned I go way baack with him.There are certain things that have only recently come to light where he is concerned. As of this moment though our friendship is done.It is unfortuntae because we had been friends for over 20 years but frankly it just was not working for me anymore.
