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.
Recently started seeing someone who is a sweetheart 85% of the time. And I do mean sweetie. However, whenever I try to talk with him about my feelings and thoughts he gets upset so quickly. Blaming me or saying I am making a big deal outta nothing. Unfortunately, because it is so early on the relationship and there is already a huge red flag I dont think I can salvage the relatinship we were building, partly because I dont want to bring it up and ' rock the boat'. However, for future reference... I was wondering how do you talk to someone who always seems to get angry...
That said... he may be responding badly if he thinks that you are expecting him to "fix" the problem or emotion, or if he feels like you are blaming him for the problem existing in the first place.
You might try opening with what you need from him (just to listen/care/reassure, etc). However, if this is the tone already, and it feels like a red flag... it might also be good to follow your gut and cut your losses earlier than later.
Each person is accountable for his or her own actions. Avoiding his anger isn't your job.
