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.

THOUGHTS

that is what pisses me off. if i just start to think of shit that bothers me i get real angry. I guess if you think about it thoughts are what pisses everybody off. Something happens and you sit there and dwell on it, and then it pisses you off because of the way you feel about it. like somebody cutting you off, or your boss yelling at you, maybe your s/o fuked someone else, or your fav team loses. I wonder we get pissed because our feelings get hurt, or just because we cannot answer certain things with logic.

Here is something to think aobut. is col. sanders original recipe really his, or did he get it from someone else?

I know what you mean about the thoughts....I get myself so worked up just thinking of certain things that tick me off, and it's just my own brain driving me nuts. Sometimes I wish there was a switch on the side of my head that I could just flip. And yes, I'm a dweller too, thinking all day at work about the idiot who cut me off this morning...why do we do this to ourselves?

it's really his...i used to work for kfc......

as for the anger....the biggest thing that has helped me is inviting forgiveness into the situation....i know that is difficult and a lot easier said than done...the other thing that is helping me is remembering that becoming so angry destoys more around me...so then i just have more to deal with...

thoughts are just thoughts without action there harmless, the think is they keep swirling in your head, i sugest you journal and get them out of your head and on paper that is what works for me.

I have the perseveration issue as well but I contribute it to the altered brain development those of us who were abused during developmental year have sustained. The stress response loses the breaks this way and the salient emotional thoughts keep coming back over and over. Journaling helps a lot, I agree.

    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...
