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.

What does everyone do when they get so angry but dont want to yell and scream or get violent. I dont know what to do sometimes...i step back from this situation but i end up talking to myself. I was wondering if anyone knows good techniques??

Hi-I agree with beautyforashes and I do the same-take a walk, go for a drive and yell or talk to yourself (and yes, I've gotten the funny looks too while talking to myself!). If you have a pet, spending a few minutes with them may also diffuse the anger. I used to throw things and hit people when I got angry, and it's taken me a while to learn that those actions don't solve a darn thing, only make it worse. And don't worry about the talking to yourself thing-it's better than screaming or violence. You can't take back that punch or nasty name once it's been dealt.

It depends where I'm at, at the time.

If I can get to the gym, I run to the point of exhaustion, hit the punching bag, do kick boxing, or challenge someone to play badminton/table tennis with me.

I am a shyt driver, so back home when I need to clear my head, I like to drive really fast on deserted roads and push myself to the limits.

When I can, I go to my "spot" with a notebook and just scribble whatever comes to mind while I enjoy the peace and view.

I listen to Rock or any angry song that suits my mood beautifully and sing at the top of my lungs.

I throw darts, I scream into my pillow, I take long showers and wash my hair, I over eat...No one thing works.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
