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.

hi there


I have a troubled past which has to lead to a lot of built up anger and it burst out of me when I do not what it to. I end up taking it out on my friends which are trying to help. I try the usual techniques but none seem to work. Did anyone get some tips?

Get a punching bag? Bottling it up isn't good. I don't know what the usual techniques are but what works for me is to get some air or go for a walk, stay away from other people for a bit until I've calmed down enough, deep breaths, prayer. I think meditation would probably be good to calm them mind down. Google 'calming foods and drinks'. Steer clear of caffeine in coffee, teaand some sodas.

The anger does pass like astorm passes. Do your very best not to lash out at others verbally or physically...I know it's easier said than done.

Hi- If someone mistreated us, some people choose to respond immediately and confront them. In my experience, I pause and give myself to calm down. Prayer, journaling and listening to inspirational messages work for me. Physical activity is also effective at calming anger. I hope you will feel better soon.

You are in my prayers. Keep us posted, God bless.

I usually find myself unable to remove myself from the situation (but I’m working on it) which I’m always told is the best first step

But once the situation passes it’s incredibly important to talk to you friends about it so they understand it’s not them (or if it is them they know what set you off)

communication is the most important thing and the people in our lives need to know we have these issues before they can really be there for us and beyond that need to know that it’s not entirely their fault that we can’t this way (we want to spread the love not the problems)
