Almost every day it
seems that TV and
newspapers (remember
them?) feature
domestic and child
abuse, actions that
police would label
"crimes against
persons", and even
killings, whether in
this country or
overseas. Look
behind the video
images and the
headlines and you're
likely to find
compounded stress
and uncontrolled
anger lurking in the
details.
Stress is so much a
part of our lives
that we have given
up on eliminating
it, but that doesn't
mean we should
forego managing it.
Actually since
stress shows no
signs of going away,
it's even more
important that we
learn ways to cope
with its effects,
including both
emotional and
physical health
problems. On top of
that, it's a very
short step from
compounded stress to
uncontrolled anger.
Those who don't
learn to manage
stress often end up
needing to learn how
to rein in their
anger. This is where
well-designed anger
management classes
(Anger Management Help) come in.
Anger courses are
being created,
marketed and taught
by many different
kinds of
organizations. Most
of these anger
management classes
(Anger Management Help) educate people
about the causes of
anger and ways to
control it. The
person who is
struggling with a
short temper,
disconcerting
outbursts,
psychological and
emotional abuse, or
even physical
threats and attacks
needs anger training
without a doubt.
Ironically, it is
just such a person
who frequently fails
to recognize the
fact that he/she
needs help in
managing anger. This
so-called denial
mechanism gets in
the way of facing
facts and of
accepting the advice
of family and
friends. Deep down,
however, what's
holding them back is
their ego. They will
not, or cannot, see
themselves as
someone whose
problem is serious
enough to require
who needs outside
help in anger
management. In this
kind of situation,
friends and family
need patience and
persistence to keep
trying to get their
message across.
For people who dig
in their heels about
attending a
traditional class,
there is an option
that has two pluses
in its favor. An
online anger
management class
offers the same
good-quality
information as a
traditional
face-to-face anger
course, and the
anonymity of being
online. Of course
the instructor knows
who the participants
are, but the
participants don't
need to know the
identities of each
other. This can be
important when
probing into what
kinds of things
cause outbursts of
anger. The term for
these things is
"triggers." Different people
have different
triggers, and in
online anger
management classes
participants are
taught how to
identify their own
individual triggers.
They learn anger
techniques and come
up with alternatives
to angry outbursts
in response to their
triggers. The online
anger programs also
teach participants
to see anger as a
warning sign, not as
something that
causes them
over-react.
It's important to
note that anger
management classes
(Anger Management Help) do not each
people to suppress
their feelings and
emotions, but teach
techniques on how to
channel them into
more positive and
constructive
outlets.
