Anger builds. During COVID19 and lockdown, it has built up for many. Frustrations over quarantine, masks, political views, domestic family life, fear of the illness, and other issues have caused a rise in anger across the world. Individuals need to relax and not allow anger to overtake them. This may be difficult but is necessary if society wishes to defeat this virus and also remain sane.
Anger can rise in lockdown when families are forced to spend more time with each other. It is important to control anger and remain peaceful. Please also review our Anger Management Consulting Training Program
The article, “How To Deal With Anger If It’s Building Up During Lockdown” by Natasha Hinde looks at multiple ways we can decrease anger and increase peace. She states,
“Emotions are riding high as lockdown stretches on and our freedoms remain constrained. One emotion in particular has repeatedly reared its head in households up and down the UK this week. Anger. There’s anger at the virus, government, media and, most recently, anger at the injustice when most people have followed the rules – often at a huge personal cost – and a minority haven’t, including some of those in positions of power.”
Hopefully many people will be able to control anger, reduce stress and follow the needed guidelines to keep everyone safe. It is especially important in homes that domestic quarrels remain benign and love and unity emerge.

Anger can build up over time. Individuals who do not express it in a healthy way find themselves in a count down to explosion. Many times, the anger that is vented is towards those who did not do anything to deserve the tirade. Misplaced anger is a big issue especially during the pandemic and social unrest within the United States. With so much anger, it is easy for misplaced anger to fall upon family and friends. It is important to not let other stressors and angers build up and overflow into other aspects of one’s life.
Do you misplace your anger towards others at home, on the road or at work? Please also review our Anger Management Consulting Program
The article, “Misplaced Anger: Why You Have It, What to Do About It” by Markheim Heid looks at the phenomenon of misplaced anger. He states,
“The phenomenon of ‘displaced aggression’ helps explain why your accumulated anger during the pandemic can spill out into real-world interactions”
Misplaced anger can have many reasons why its manifested. Anger towards the intended target not being around, such as a politician, or anger over something else that builds up and pushes one to yell or scream at someone who just wants our attention. It is important not to misdirect anger and when we do, to quickly apologize and fix the situation. Please also review our Anger Management Consulting Program and see if it matches your academic and professional goals.
Reacting immediately to anger is an impulse that needs to be avoided. It is natural to respond to emotion but we need to question our anger sometimes. We need to understand what makes us angry and why. In doing so, we can identify logical responses versus illogical ones and how to respond to both and in what degree. Triggers are key in identifying to help maintain composure when anger presents itself.

The article, “Here’s what your anger is telling you — and how you can talk back” by Lauren Schenkman looks at the nature of anger and our response. In particular, he looks at the importance of Anger Management. He states,
“While a blast of rage may inform us of a threat — even if it’s just to our reputation — it’s the thoughts we have following it which determine how we respond. That’s why strategies like cognitive behavioral therapy, which teach people healthier thought patterns, can be so successful.”

Usually war, disaster or tragedy unite, but the COVID 19 pandemic has managed to divide the country. On one side there are citizens who are obeying restrictions and social distancing and on the other side, there are individuals who are openly defying the restrictions. This dangerous mentality adds to the division that display political fault lines simply by wearing a mask or not wearing one. This also fuels an already uneasy political landscape between Trump and the Democratic Party, and for that matter most mainstream individuals. The response to the disaster has only enraged more as everyone looks to point the finger.
Covid19 pandemic has led to political divide instead of unity against the virus. Some minority groups see the fight against the virus as a campaign against their rights. This has led to political anger between maskers and non maskers
This unrest and fear across the nation has led to increase signs of political anger. Protests and armed open carry as a sign of intimidation towards others who support science and the medical field is perplexing. While the shut downs have hurt everyone economically, the irrational response of anger out of fear has engulfed the nation. Individuals demanding their rights over the inconvenience of regulations imposed by the the state are becoming more and more angry. They are channeling their anger of not wearing mask into a political movement against state control and a secret agenda.
Others in response are becoming increasingly angry with the absurdity of not wearing a mask or questioning the apparent danger of the virus. This has led to conflicts and showdowns between maskers and non maskers. Without good leadership in Washington, which is constantly sending mixed signals, individuals are becoming even more angry.
It is unfortunate that political divide and anger has even poured into the medical and scientific realms where safety against the virus is now questioned. As this continues, individuals must keep their calm. Wear the masks, keep distance and do not allow anger to overwhelm oneself when seeing someone who blatantly disregards safety due to their misdirected and unsound anger. Two angry minds do not solve the problem.
Protests against the economic shutdown are spread across the country. This fueling of anger from the political field makes fighting the virus more difficult
However, fear has not only engulfed the social sphere but also home life. Again where families should come together, one is discovering cases of domestic violence. New schedules, unemployment frustration, cabin fever, and enforcing pandemic rules are a stress on families. Many families are also gripped with fear and that fear can turn into outbursts. This is even a more dangerous situation in households where domestic violence is already an ingredient of everyday life.
Overall, many Americans are acting calm outside and inside their homes, but as a nation, we collectively must remain calm. One cannot allow fear of the virus, anger over the situation and stress of new guidelines to lead to conflict and confrontation. It is far easier to become emotional but if everyone follows the guidelines, ignores the fringe minority, and works together as a family and community then this crisis will slowly go away.
Homes in quarantine with a history of domestic violence also face anger issues.
Wearing masks, washing hands, and social distancing can help protect families from infection. If everyone tries their best, then spread can be minimized. As the country starts to re-open, new challenges will emerge and new cases, but everyone must not allow fear, stress and outside noise distract them from the task at hand. This is going to be a long war on the virus and if the correct mindset is adopted, we can limit fear, reduce false expectations and face challenges with a sound mind.
Anger is something we do not need added to the already volatile situation. Frustration over the situation is understandable but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into an anger that makes one become enemies with one another or take political agendas over science and medical advice.
While dealing with these issues, please also review our Anger Management Consulting Certification Program.

In the meantime, remember to stay calm, follow medical advice, and face the crisis one day at a time. That is the best way to deal with the anger that is surrounding everyone due to this crisis without allowing it to enrage yourself.
Mastering one’s control of anger is essential and important to becoming a better person. Anger in itself is not evil or bad but is a reaction that is neutral in value of good or bad. It is what we do with it that makes it bad or good. Anger hence can be just or evil in its application to a situation.
Ultimately anger is a reaction to something that is wrong. Frequent use of it over mild things is a sign of an issue though. Our anger should not be quick but should be correlated properly with to each situation and then channeled properly
How well can we control our frustration and anger during crisis is critical to our success in life. Please also review our Anger Management Certification Program

Domestic Violence is a growing crime in America. Thousands of cases emerge each year with many cases of the repeat offending nature. The danger to the victim can escalate in time. Unfortunately, many victims report once it is too late and their life is in true danger.
Domestic Violence is serious crime and is addressed more than ever with stronger laws. Please also review our Anger Management Program
Domestic Violence while usually considered a crime against women, can also be a crime against men as well. It is also more than merely bruising and beating but any push, shove or slap. Furthermore, even if physical abuse does not occur, mental abuse can be as long term damaging. Individuals need to spot the signs of abuse and break it before they become a statistic themselves.
The article, “Domestic violence: Misconceptions, Myths and Mistakes” by Alderman Rupa Blackwell states,
“I’m a survivor of domestic violence, and I get really nervous when people begin to talk about domestic violence around me. Not because I’m afraid to share my story or because I’m still triggered by the years of abuse, but because I know they will likely share some misconception about the cycle of violence.”
Anger Management can help prevent domestic violence, but one should always be seek professional help before determining if a situation is now safe or not. Please also review our Anger Management Program
Part of anger management is preventing escalation not only in oneself but also others. Dr Conte, the instructor of AIHCP’s Anger Management Courses teaches that it is important to listen and understand the other person’s issues and to make sure the other person feels heard. In doing, so, one then can validate and offer other solutions. Not being attached to one’s own view is also critical. In a confrontation, preaching to the other person can also escalate.

The article, “Yield Theory: An Enlightened Approach to Anger” by Conan Milner reviews Dr Conte’s Yield Theory and how listening, not being overly attached to one’s own opinions, and offer viable solutions can help diffuse anger on both sides. Milner states,
“When you’re embroiled in an argument, you’re eager to prove your point. But if your approach only escalates the conflict, people will become resistant to your message. It’s tempting to believe that your ability to convince others comes primarily from what you say (or how forcefully you say it). But according to Dr. Christian Conte, the key lies in how well you listen.”
