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 am a retired nurse and trauma survivor. My SO is a former air force para rescue veteran. We have had many arguments about politics SARS COV 2. I have learned to STOP disengage walk away. Following health care providers advice can reverse or prevent comorbities. He thinks there is going to be " throw down" in America. I am taking a second look at the purpose this anger is possibly serving. He has patterns similar to my father who was and is depressed angry controlling. He always reads the news. I am a researcher. I have had my anger issues too but they are about codependency feeling overwhelmed unrealistic expectations which I work on. Any insight is appreciated.
It seems like politics & COVID has really separated family in many cases. I think about how the politics of my siblings are & get pissed off. Some brag about being not immunized and they are fine.............(until they aren't ).
COVID, politics.....the anger. Father against son, boyfriend against girlfriend, co-worker against co-workers, old classmates you don't want to hang with and you question whether they were friends or was it a circumstantial relasionship.
Thanks for the post.
I have to say though since the war that Russia has started with the Ukraine in order to take therir rights away and spit on democracy
I am just so glad that we can have these arguments freely and we have the freedom to choose what want want for ourselves
