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.

Goes anyone know how to look for a therapist that helps you calm down? What am I suppose to look for or what type of counselor?

Unless there is something specifically listed in the yellow pages of your phone book under cousellors that suggests they deal with anger management, I would just go through the list and start phoning them and ask.

Thanks, I am starting with talking to a counselor at school. I don't have a lot of money right now.

Took me a long time to realize that there are many different 'schools of thought' with therapists. That some of them might not have the same goals as I. Therefore, who ever you go to, ask questions as you would for any other consumer service. Find out what their philosophy is and how they plan to treat your situation. See if you feel comfortable with them and that they are giving you logical and personal (for your problem) advice.
School IMO is a good place to start. LOL, you are probably paying for that service anyway in the cost of your tuition. (My school has a Health Fee, I've argued with them that I don't want to pay it because I have insurance but they say they have to collect it anyway, SO, I go to that therapist, just because I've paid for it, haha).
Anyway, a few other things you could do, are there any clinics in your area that charge on a 'sliding scale'? Or professional associations that you can call to get a recommendation. Maybe on line look up (whatever the name is) association of Physiologists to find one.

I found an EA Emotions Anonymous in my area so that will probably help.
Thanks for the helpful suggestions.

    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...
