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.
My anger has been back for the past many months. I have been trying to control it on my own, through Dance and meditation. Isolating myself when it becomes overwhelming so that I do not take it out on others. But it's become too much, and I'm not sure what to do...how to re-train my Brain to not jump to anger. I Believe the root cause was from a traumatic head injury. So I'm not sure how much help there really is. I have spoken to others who suffered a head injury and had lasting anger/aggression afterwards. I have been to a therapist directly after, who did help, and I guess I Need to give in and go back to therapy. But honestly, that alone will likely not be a cure-all. It is effecting my relationships, and I hate it.
If you aren't doing this already, make sure your diet is very clean (like 80% paleo, stay away from dairy, wheat, caffeine, chocolate and junk food in general). Also, make sure to get a lot of sleep every night.
The fact that you meditate and get exercise through dance is awesome. Another thing is make absolutely SURE that you eliminate anything that causes unnecessary stress. For me that meant limiting time on social media, not watching tv, etc. Perhaps taking up martial arts if you have the funds can help?
Most importantly and I know this is easier said then done, make sure you're living environment is positive and make sure you don't hate your job. Those two are very important.
Make sure to surround yourself with positivity.. this includes your friends, music, etc.
Aside from all that, honestly there's nothing else that will help, other then getting professional assistance.
Make sure that this is not to be made as a Hate Journal but a journal which will aid you in understanding your trigger points. This will help you understand your trigger points which can be avoided every time you feel the same next time..
As Spike27 has rightly said its easier said than done, but these steps need to be taken if you want to free yourself from the effects of anger
