Anger Management Training Article on Anger Management

Anger Management is key in helping others control anger.  One of the big things is understanding the meaning and intent of others.  When they are misunderstood, anger can erupt and cause issues in all aspects of life.

Interpreting why someone responds a way is better than emotionally reacting without thought. Please also review AIHCP’s Anger Management Training Program

 

The article, “How to Rethink and Manage Anger” by Ilene Strauss Cohen looks at how anger should be understood and how to avoid triggering it.  The article states,

“When people respond to situations with anger, there’s usually more to the story. Behind their rage is a fear of being hurt, a fear of not being able to stand up for themselves, or a fear of unjust or unfair things happening. These are all understandable feelings. And anger is also appropriate in many situations. The experience of anger isn’t wrong; it is when we express that anger in negative ways that it can be harmful to our lives. ”

Anger Management Training Program on Anger and Today’s Social Issues

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.

Anger if left unattended or properly directed can lead to bigger problems.  This is especially true in the case of young boys.  Boys need to be able to understand their emotions but also how to display them in a healthy and productive fashion.  Anger is one such emotion that needs to be directed properly to prevent future rage issues.  Boys need good role models but also as boys, need outlets that play to their gender and emotional needs.

The article, “How To Help Boys Deal With Anger” by Catherine Pearson looks deeper and helping boys learn to control and cope with anger.  She states,

“Obviously, there is so much nuance when it comes to individuals, emotions — and how they express those emotions. It is not fair, nor accurate, to say that all boys experience anger one way, while all girls experience it another. And research shows it is a myth that boys and men experience anger more than girls and women.”
