We live in an angry society. Society is divided and angry. Unhealthy ways of expressing emotion online, on social media and at rallies and events are becoming very common. Anger and uncontrolled rage is also manifesting in domestic terrorist acts and school and public shootings. The inability to control anger and rage is leading to multiple national tragedies and a continued unstable social environment for all of the United States.
Misused anger in the social sphere can lead to social unrest and rage.
This is not to say anger has not always existed and manifested in forms of rage in our society, but the particular modern climate is especially anger prone. Reflection is needed on how we treat each other, respect each other and deal with social strife. Anger inappropriately channeled is leading to tragedy after tragedy and to needless ruthless and cruel commentary between Americans.
One of the first aspects is the role of social media. Social media despite its numerous advantages has become to many, a personal diary. Instead of maintaining some sort of privacy, everyone feels the need to share one’s religious, political and social views. Individuals without hesitation will impose their views on a thread on Facebook or Twitter, expecting all to agree. Without the face to face social norms present, an individual is more likely to be rude or speak vulgarly inducing more angry interaction.
Misuse of social media is part of why society is so angry in the present day
This lack of a mental filter has led to countless outbursts of anger throughout one’s day and in far worst cases can lead to bullying as well as extreme reactions. Everyone feels offended if their ideals are questioned and responds in ways social norms would reject. Many fume for days over social media debates. They allow it to alter their day and affect their interaction with individuals throughout the day.
A second element to the higher angry energy is politics. Present day politics is more divisive than any time in American history since the Civil War. Abortion, homosexual and transgender rights, gun control, immigration, healthcare, and Democrat vs Republican idealogies can destroy a friendship. The anger is so personal that other Americans demonize the other for being liberal or conservative. When confronted by an opposing idea, Americans react in the most angry ways. Whether at rallies or protests, Americans show the true division existing in the nation with the angry outbursts.
These political outbursts are also tied to social media, where everything is seen and instant reactions from any average Joe or Sue are shared with the viewing community. It is in such a dangerous political environment that fringe extremist groups have re-emerged. These unhinged groups, already exhibiting rage issues, utilize the political divide and role of social media to further propagate fear, hate and anger.
Individuals have become so attune to this type of social behavior that the loss of older values and social norms seems to be on the decline. Respect of others, decent language and boundaries of social behavior are all being strained and tested. Individuals feel justified in their anger and that their anger is righteous. In this demonization of the other view, right and left, liberal or conservative, feel they are fighting a noble crusade. They feel their anger and only their anger is justified. They feel their unbridled passion and raw emotion are justified against the evil they face in society.
So in most cases, the anger running rampant is both untamed and erroneously seen as justified. This is a very dangerous mix.
With such a chaotic environment, the unhinged and mentally unstable find refuge. Whether an extremist group, hate group, or individual mentally ill person, all can find a spot to share views and ideas on the chaos. This leads to more anger and violence. The reactions of the mentally ill are especially alarming. Shootings in public places have sky rocketed in the recent years. There are shootings at schools, movies, malls, and public events. Most of these shooters are mentally ill and have serious issues. They possess a rage against society and an anger that has never been properly cured. Instead they represent the outcasts of society and have turned their anger towards whatever perceived wrongs into manifestos. The inability to help the mentally ill and abused and to teach them how to deal with anger in a healthy way is a big challenge and current failure of today’s society.
Hence anger and rage is something that needs to be dealt with. It cannot be allowed to continue to go unbridled and without guard. The sources of the anger can be minimized but there will always be chaos in the world. There will always be something to be angry about. How one controls that anger and properly channels it is the key. The irritants must not be allowed to be completely blamed for society’s anger issue. Instead, one must look at how they handle angry situations.
First and foremost it is OK to be angry. It is how one handles anger and rage that is the key. One should not bottle it up in a introvert style way nor release it carelessly. Instead, one must learn despite the political divide, the mental instability, as well as the readiness of a social platform to learn to curb one’s emotion. One must learn to control how one reacts.
It is OK to be angry, but how we channel anger is the key to a healthy and safe life style
This involves not allowing emotion to overtake and instantly allowing emotion to dictate the response but in such a complicated political environment it takes more. It also after reflection demands a healthy and legal outlet for a justified anger. It involves reacting within the norms of law and social graces that respect others. It demands from politicians reasonable language that does not induce rage within his or her followers. It demands a return to class.
Anger Management skills can play a large role. Although Anger Management cannot help with mental illness and political divide, it can at least start helping the vast majority of the population in venting their anger in a healthy, productive and positive way. It involves not only how one processes social injustice and how one expresses it, but also importantly how one reacts to others. One must be able to process anger, express anger but also react to others who still exhibit immature or unhealthy angry behavior.
The American Institute of Health Care Professionals offers a certification in Anger Management Consulting. This certification is meant to help train others in the process of teaching Anger Management. While Anger Management is critical to everyday life, it is especially critical in such a volatile social environment. Whether it is political, social or public, one can find oneself in a variety of anger situations merely at home, work or while traveling. It is key to attempt to control anger in all phases of life.

Miscarriage may seem invisible to many but it is a reality that can affect a couple or woman. The expectations and joy of what if can all be lost in a miscarriage. The lost of a life whether born or not yet born may be less visible but it is still a real loss of a child. The loss of a child takes away the status of motherhood or fatherhood potentially to individuals.
Miscarriages represent true loss. Many parents suffer without any consolation. Please also review our Grief Counseling Certification
The article, “Early Miscarriage Is An Invisible Loss, But The Grief Is Real” discusses this loss. Beth Bailey states,

This type of loss is common but rarely acknowledged as true loss for many. To read the entire article, please click here

Alternative practices and holistic remedies usually treat causes more than symptoms. In many ways they are also more preventive but in some cases can be utilized for treatment. With all the confusion of what alternative or holistic medicine to use, it is important to coordinate any additional alternative practices or medicines with your primary care giver. It is also important to discuss with a Holistic Interactive Practitioner about what medications are best and which ones should not be used with each other. Nurses make excellent potential Holistic caregivers.

The article, “Treating the Causes, Not the Symptoms” by Sheila Julson states,
“Complementary (also called integrative) medicine is when a non-mainstream practice is used in conjunction with conventional medicine. Alternative medicine uses non-mainstream practices in place of conventional medicine. They’re often referred to together as Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) and have a similar objective: to find and treat the underlying causes of health problems rather than to just address symptoms.”
Stress is a natural part of life. Stress occurs daily but its universal impact is a subjective experience. Many people succumb to stress and allow it to affect them while some are able to deal with stress and minimize its effects. Some individuals respond as an extrovert, while others allow stress to eat them within as an introvert. Some respond with rage, while others enter into isolation and depression.
Stress can originate from our daily schedule and the nature of one’s life. If one understands his or her position in life and what comes with it, these natural stresses come less as a surprise. Someone who commutes to New York City everyday, naturally expects the stress of heavy traffic and road rage scenarios. While the stress is real and present, its effect is determined by the individual’s outlook on life and what he or she expects for that day. The stress of this traffic can build over time but someone who has developed stress coping strategies can more effectively deal with the traffic and minimize its impact on daily life.
One can expect certain stresses on a daily and weekly life but how we handle unexpected stress and multiple stressors is key as well
The same is true for an individual who may work in a office. One should expect numerous phone calls interrupting assignments, as well as multiple deadlines and potentially obnoxious co-workers. These stresses while unpleasant are nevertheless expected stresses. An individual who identifies stressors that are indigenous to one’s daily life will more successfully navigate the day and cope with the stresses that may confront them.
Likewise is the nature of one’s vocation in life. Parents experience different stresses that single people never can imagine. Parents are not only concerned with meeting the expectations of what need done in their own personal lives, but also must be concerned with the child’s needs. Whether that stress is a crying baby, ensuring the children arrive at school, or take children to extracurricular activities, parents understand that certain stresses manifest throughout the day. These potential stresses are certainly not foreign ideas that can emerge throughout the day but are sometimes expected or not entirely a surprise if they do occur.
Natural stresses that are part of one’s daily life are balanced to some extent. They are expected. One knows what to expect on Monday through Friday and what particular challenges come with those days. The balancing act of coping with those stresses in a mild way and still managing the day is a very precarious balance though. The degree of the stress or an unexpected stress can totally unravel one’s neatly planned day. One may plan on heavy traffic on their way to the commute, but not be prepared for a fender bender. One may be ready for the challenge to have all the children arrive to school on time, but not be ready to receive a call a from a teacher that your child skipped class or misbehaved. These issues can unravel one already dealing with the everyday notion of stress.
One can identify stressors that are common and have a plan but when unexpected stressors occur, they can induce a panic, rage, or break down. In addition to unplanned stress, multiple stressors can also play a role. One may be fine with a rude honk from behind in traffic, but later, not be so fine with the person who cuts in front, or even later, the person at work who parks in one’s favorite spot. Simply then add a spilled coffee on one’s favorite shirt and a lack of emotional control could emerge. Certain singular stresses may be manageable but for many, multiple stressors, merely build up to a volcanic eruption.
So while individuals deal with natural stressors, they must also learn to deal with unexpected stressors and multiple stressors at once. While one can expect certain stress to exist naturally within one’s day, one must be also able to cope with the unexpected and multiple issues that may appear uninvited on one’s schedule.
Life has order but it always does not keep to order. This may be very difficult for an OCD person to accept but plans change. One needs to have a plan, a set daily, weekly and monthly schedule, but stress, life itself and issues arise that deviate from anyone’s plan. One can estimate what type of stress or difficulty may occur with a given project, day, or week, but to truly cope with stress, one must be ready to deviate from the path planned if necessary.
While life has general guideline, one can never plan completely without a few bumps and stresses in life. How one handles those detours is the key to living a physical and emotional healthy life
This goes beyond basic Anger Management and Stress Management which identifies issues that arise and teach trained responses to them, but goes a step even farther back basic recognition, and teaches expectations of not only the expected but unexpected as well. One must be flexible in response and able to cope with new unexpected stressors in a better and healthy way.
Of course emotion is a key. Emotion can be irrational and it can over react to stressors and various imperfections within one’s personality can emerge. One truly must learn to know oneself, if one wishes to handle stress and anger on a given day. This goes beyond expecting what stress goes with a day. It goes beyond realizing that plans rarely go to plan. It is even more than realizing that somedays are just bad days filled with multiple stresses at once. It entails, one honestly examining one’s personality and identifying emotional responses to past stress and where personality defects exist within oneself.
This examination of self asks questions regarding oneself. It asks if one is patient, if one is kind, if one is mature, if one is reserved as opposed to impatience, rudeness, immaturity and anger. How we cope truly defines oneself. One naturally likes to see the best of oneself. One who rises to the occasion, controls emotion, and has intelligent responses to situations that are managed by reason not emotion, but this is not always the case.
A person who possesses these traits and is able to handle anger and stress is not only trained but also disciplined. It probably did not occur by accident or over night, but was a skill that was painfully worked on everyday. It was a virtue forged in fire, perfected over numerous falls and conscious restraint in stressful and angry situations. Training one’s will and mind to respond a certain way that is not immature, rash, or angry is a difficult task.
So while it does ensue identifying stressors, preparation and expectation of the unexpected, it also revolves around spiritual and mental betterment. It involves a conscious decision to change one’s response and emotional self to life situations. It is a new spiritual outlook on life that accepts stress, not just daily stress, but every type of cross that may fall upon oneself. It is a universal reaction to every situation that surrounds itself with patience, understanding, and kindness.
So Stress Management and Anger Management is more than just a few sessions of recorded response but is also a re-awakening of self to the world and how it works. It is an acceptance of the temporal reality and how one is going to allow that reality to shape oneself. One can go about as a crazed and AN unhealthy maniac reacting to stress in unhealthy and unsocial ways, or one can start to see the world in a less selfish way that puts others first and emphasizes vocation of life and giving back whatever troubles may occur from it.
Stress Management is more than a few key responses but also a change in life outlook. It is a spiritual awakening about the reality of life. Please also review our Stress Management Consulting Program
This giving back can be a spiritual one where everything is given to God, or for non religious, a giving back to society and its betterment. If one is able to turn stress and how one reacts to it into a more positive spin, where one overcomes it and is able to make society better, or for religious and spiritually minded, offering to God, then one can truly start to see that all stress is natural to this world and no plan is concrete. The plan that matters most is God or the universe’s plan and how one properly plays one’s role.
If one submits to the universal plan of life and starts seeing one’s unique role in the bigger picture, one can become more aware of reality and how stressors are merely noises taking one away from the bigger picture. One needs to deal with stressors effectively. In dealing effectively, one will experience a more calm, healthy, and quiet life.

Grief is a natural reaction. It is not considered a pathology. Grief however can become pathological and complicated. Extreme trauma can be an ingredient to possibly cause complicated and traumatic grief. These types of grief can emerge later and cause long term problems.
Traumatic grief is unexpected and is beyond basic mourning but deals with complicated survival reactions. Please also review our Grief Counseling Program
Grief hence has the ability to become complicated due to the nature of the loss, the nature of the person grieving and surrounding circumstances.
The article, “Grief vs. Traumatic Grief” by “Odelya Gertel Kraybill Ph.D.” looks at how unexpected loss can contribute to traumatic grief. She states,
“Traumatic grief, that is, the grief that accompanies loss that is unexpected, is different. Such a loss triggers post-trauma survival mechanisms in addition to the mourning of whatever was unexpectedly lost.”
After a miscarriage so many emotions can erupt. For some relief but with that relief possibly guilt. Some may also mourn the loss and feel extreme sadness and anger.
