Anger Management Skills

11.01.2009 · Posted in Home and Garden Articles

Many learned people, so-called experts, philosophers and the rest, tell us about anger and anger management skills, but do they tell you everything? There are people all over the world with anger issues, some mild, some extreme and some which are within the normal bounds of the emotion of anger. nnWe hear about all the symptoms of anger, which include kicking, fighting, slapping, verbally abusing, mentally abusing, and so on. We hear reports from around the world about the many episodes related to violence in the criminal world. Finally, we hear many reports about how to deal with anger using anger management skills.nnFirstly, anger is an emotion that reacts to impulses. Anger is a good thing, until it becomes unmanageable. This happens when a person feels displeasured and acts on the impulses of his or her emotions radically. However, there are some persons who get angry as a direct result of procrastination. nnYou can see it in an example with a person that gets angry with a cable company. Let’s say that this person has been dealing for more than three months with issues involving a cable company, herself and a third party. This person was paying a bill which included channels ordered by someone else, but the company refused to give her a selection of channels that she had ordered in her own name.nnShe went through a series of processes, and finally, after she had done as instructed, the company advised her that she would have to pay for what had already passed. So, she would have to pay for all the channels on the bill, only some of which she had ordered. Now, she was in no position to do much about it since she did not live at the address. Finally, she blew her top and told the company off, walking quickly out the front door, mumbling you ****** ****** idiots.nnThis person was pushed to anger and this happens too many times in society these days, yet the world only sees the angry persons. We can look at other theories about anger and anger management skills, and see that the blanks are not filled in. When a person has an anger issue, he or she does not necessarily have that problem everyday. Rather, in most instances the person builds up to the point of exploding.nnOften someone will go for a week, month, or even longer before they break out in anger. If this person has a mental illness, alcohol or drug problems, it contributes to the anger issues, however in many cases the person does not get too angry every day.nnTherefore, we can see that not only do we need to teach anger management skills to contain anger; we also must teach people to approach each problem as it occurs. Procrastination comes in many forms and it includes putting off emotional issues until they are too hot to handle. Many people that are violent because of uncontrolled anger often have a dangerous mental illness underlying the anger. Many people that are angry because of putting things off have a degree of control, and it usually does not lead to violence.nnHowever if a person is pushed hard enough this may occur. Anger is involved with the process of expressing emotions, however when a person is angry they may have difficulty relating to the underlying reason for the anger, which means that they have poor anger management skills.
