The article, “Managing Anger: Real Steps To Stop The COVID Rage” by Elizabeth Broadbent reviews how we can better control our anger. She states,
“Managing anger means noticing and naming it in the moment, and when I see people moving into my space or not wearing a mask, I feel angry. I am personally offended. I can name it now. I don’t excuse it or hide it or justify it. I feel angry. And I also recognize that it’s okay to be angry. Anger is a feeling. We can control how we act. We can’t control how we feel. In other words, I can name my feeling. But that feeling doesn’t give me a right to act out.”

The article, “Too Much Anger Leads to Bad Health Outcomes” by Philip Chard looks at how anger when it is not expressed or coped with properly can lead to later health issues. He states,
The damage from this sort of mental bile is routinely underestimated. Studies show emotional agitation, particularly the angry variety, instigates several unwelcome health impacts. For one, the next time you “lose it,” your immune system will be compromised for roughly four hours, leaving you more susceptible to illness. That’s no small vulnerability in our COVID-saturated world. What’s more, persistent agitation increases the risk of strokes, heart disease and early death. Also, these caustic feelings corrode mental well-being, sometimes leading to a nasty condition called “agitated depression.”
Stress Management and Anger Management can help one understand the profound effects on the body due to emotional distress and help teach individuals how to better identify stressors and agitations and learn how to better react to them. It is important for good health, to limit emotional distress and keep the body healthy.

Stressors and change create grief and anger. How we manage our anger and grief in relationship to stressors with other people is critical to our social interaction with others. For better communication, health and better social relationships, conflict resolution is critical.
Conflict resolution involves better communication skills, control of emotion due to stress and loss, patience and understanding. In conflict resolution, stress management and anger management classes, individuals need to identify what type of behavior their possess in their interaction with other people.
Conflict resolution brings out a peaceful but effective solution for two differing parties Please also review AIHCP’s Anger Management Consulting Certification
Assertive behaviors are the healthiest of the behaviors. They establish boundaries, respect self, respect the other person, and meet one’s needs in a healthy way. Non assertive behaviors on the other hand deny the wishes and needs of self at the expense of others. There is a lack of boundaries and ability to respect one self over the needs of others.
Aggressive behavior is a selfish behavior. It turns to conflict when establishing boundaries and the needs of others. It does not respect the needs of others nor the feelings of others when establishing itself in a conflict.
For example, an assertive behavior at a restaurant would return an ordered item that was ill prepared. It would so in a civil and polite way, describing the issues and find resolution. A non-assertive behavior would meekly accept the discrepancy in the order and say nothing for fear of causing a scene. An aggressive behavior would demand the order be fixed without politeness and be filled with a litany of insults
Obviously, assertive behavior is the most social, healthy, and effective behaviors during conflict. They meet the need of the person but also find resolution in a polite and effective way. One can be assertive through non verbal clues, or verbal clues. How one stands, speaks in tone, and looks at a person are parts of an assertive personality. They lack dismissive behaviors or aggressive and angry body movements.
Verbally, an assertive behavior communicates. They describe the issue, express feelings, specify what is needed, and refer to consequences. In doing so, obviously, listening is also key but also elaborating on one’s needs is also key. How we communicate is key to reducing anger, stress, anxiety and violence.
It is important when resolving conflicts to use specific types of words. The words “And” and but” are important ways to express conflict. Instead of eliminating the feelings of others via the word “but “it is better to include the word “and” as a way to address and not eliminate another’s point of view.
Another verbal cue in resolving conflicts is to avoid the pronoun “you” when addressing someone else. Instead, use the pronoun “I” as not to be accusatory towards another person when pointing something out. As with “you”, avoid direct accusatory words such as “why” which can force a person with an opposing view on the defensive.
How we communicate via speech is key to resolving conflict.
If one incorporates understanding, patience, and kindness with an assertive personality, they can better communicate and address conflict issues that emerge due to anger and stress. It is imperative to be able to communicate and resolve issues of conflict in a civil but effective way. It is not only socially better but also best for health and wellbeing. The less conflict, the less stress, anxiety and anger

Anger can ruin lives. While it is only a natural emotion, if it is not controlled or managed, then physical harm can occur. It is very important if one has an anger issue to work on controlling anger.
How we control our anger and rage will determine overall health as well as safety for others. Please also review AIHCP’s Anger Management Certification
The article, “Managing Anger Issues: Don’t let anger ruin your relationship” by Marie Miguel looks at how anger can be better managed and controlled. She states,

Anger is sometimes a result of intense self righteousness or firm belief in a cause. The frustration results from others who do not believe the same way. The individual is so firmly entrenched in his or her belief, RIGHT OR WRONG, that when others are oblivious to it, one can become triggered to rage or feel justified in one’s violence.
One can see this type of political and social anger today. Protests become riots and friendly political rivalries between friends become heated exchanges that can damage a friendship. This all stems from this ideal that one forms as an identity to oneself. One may despise a certain or like a certain president because of how he connects or disconnects from one’s belief system. The president can represent such evil to one that when others find good in him, the end result is anger that can turn rude or even violent.
Anger over political issues today is putting friend against friend. Please also review our Anger Management Training Program and see if it meets your professional goals.
Whether a president is good or bad is not the case in this article. The point is that one’s perception, whether valid or invalid, creates a source of potential anger which can become very rude or violent quickly. The riots taking place throughout the nation over race, police and reform is another prime example. When beliefs are so strong that justified or unjustified anger overflows into rage and violence, then one can see a larger issue. The anger may be critical to change, but when the anger becomes violent, then it becomes as evil as the issue itself.
Individuals who protest for change, or individuals who have a particular strong political allegiance to a party or president cannot demonize each other with propaganda, nor allow justified anger to overflow into violence. Violence is never justified. Terrorism is never justified.
Due to the division, the anger and rage, friendships are torn into two, relationships are torn into two, families are torn into two, communities are torn into two, and a nation is torn into two. It is fine to be angry. It is even fine to be angry if your wrong. What is universally wrong is when one allows emotions over issues to go beyond anger and social graces. It is wrong to allow anger over issues to become emotionally abusive and violent. Individuals need to utilize anger properly. To use it for true change, as well as better dialogue with understanding.
The riots of today will not solve any issues. The breaking and division of friends and homes will not solve any problems. What will change the problems is anger used properly and directed towards peaceful protests as well as meaningful and respectful dialogue between political rivals. This is something however that has been amiss. Our own politicians behave like children with name calling. The issue must be resolved from the family house to the White House itself.
Till then, we will continue to see friends, family and communities divided, as well as the rise of left wing and right wing terrorist groups that riot and threaten each other.
In turn, how can we react? We can stop believing that our opinion is infallible. We need to re-direct and see if our views are maybe in need of moderation. If not, so be it, but we need to access our beliefs as well as look to better communicate it with others. We need to be mindful that others may come from different backgrounds and approach situations differently. We can disagree with the their points but we cannot demonize them as individuals. We must further look to calm our own anger when others disagree. We need to utilize our anger to search for better ways to find justice without allowing our anger to become more evil than the injustice itself.
How we respond to social injustice and utilize our anger is important.
If we find ourselves too consumed with anger, like in any case, we need to walk away from the issue. We need to reflect deeper on our self and understand why we are angry and allow ourselves to find a time to calm down. If social media is a source of anger and frustration that can fall into the real world, we need to walk away from comments or threads that can create greater levels of anger. Every comment does not need a response.
