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.

Everytime I get stressed out about what I consider wrong or personal to me what another person says or does I get angry. If another person in the group knows some things that could help me, please write me back in this support group. I want to cope with this anger because it makes me feel bad mentally. I am also taking an anger management class and I will see if it has some things that will help me. I have a strong desire to take small steps to me dealing with an anger and overcoming its ugly feeling and to be calm.

Thanks, Muttley

When it comes to others making me angry I have to find out what triggers me. Is it them or is it my own emotional issues. I googled 'getting triggered emotionally' and learned to breathe and slow down when someone gets to me. Give myself a second to decide is it the person or is it my own undealt with emotions. Because if I am handling my own stuff, another person shouldn't get under my skin. Breathe

Thanks for sharing this. I know the feeling. One thing you might focus on is depersonalizing situations. Anger often arises when we focus on ourselves and judge other people. We don't get truly mad at non-humans, like bad weather or animals, but people's actions really get to us.

A way to get around this is to focus more on the circumstances rather than you or other people in them. We often think things are about us, but usually things aren't at all about us. For example, if a person treats us badly, that's usually because of problems they're having, not because of us.

Please keep us up to date about how you're doing.
