Q: Anger management techniques that actually works?
Lately i’m been so intolerant of most ppl around me and will say/do things that i regret later out of anger. Techniques that might help or if you have seen a anger management counselor does it work.

A: A selection of treatments follow: If you can’t deal with it by using one of the techniques, such as counting backwards from 20, to 1, (and prevent you from allowing yourself to become angry, in the first place) is important to express that anger appropriately, at the time, and to the person who caused it, if possible, or immediately afterwards. If not, maybe by walking away later, and bellowing your rage and/or frustration. In some situations, such as work, or school, it might be better to cover your mouth with a cupped hand, bandanna/handkerchief, or use the crook of your elbow, to muffle the sound. Some people find that it helps to journal those thoughts, and emotions soon afterwards.

Anger, which is repressed, rather than healthily expressed, tends to fester, and later may cause explosive fits of rage, or depression. Let yourself feel the burning energy of that anger, and visualise it, as vividly as possible, as a hot flame cleansing you. It can help to have someone you can talk to. For more physically inclined people, a punching bag, or hitting your pillow, can be an effective release mechanism: visualise, as vividly as you can, that you are striking back at the cause of that anger. “But next time, when you get mad, just remember this quote: ‘Those who anger you, conquer you.’ It’s basically saying that when you give someone the power to make you mad, or let it get to you, it’s like they’re controlling you.

When I realized that, it made me mad, so I try to control my anger and not let people see it. You can still control your anger without being walked all over. You just have to draw a line.” Try saying to yourself, in your mind: “I am fire! I am ice!”. Repeat for as long as it takes for you to calm down sufficiently. Anger management is addressed in much more detail than can be included here, in section 4, at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris and practice daily, one of the relaxation methods in sections 11, 2, 2.c, or 2.i Most people find the progressive muscular relaxation simple, and it can be done in several minutes. Others prefer to repeat a word, like “easy” in their minds, or a short phrase, and focusing your attention on your breath is another technique. You will know from the ease of use, and effect, which suits you best. The EFT, in section 53, is worth trying, too.

A variant of Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing therapy, which has been used successfully for those people suffering from anxiety: it is easily learned, quick to use, yet can be very effective, is on page N, of section 6, and I use it before the relaxation techniques, because I have found that it makes them quicker to employ, and more effective. These will enable you to emotionally centre yourself, when practiced regularly. Yoga, and/or T’ai Chi can also help you become a calmer, more self controlled person, who is less influenced by the behaviour of others.

Q: Do you have any Anger management techniques or tips?
I have already been to anger management once before. I have a bad habit of bottling things up and even when I talk about it, it doesn’t help. If you have any anger management techniques, besides anger management classes or therapy, please let me know.

A: It’s important to realise several things about anger before you start tackling it. First, anger is a normal process that has allowed humans to evolve and adapt. It isn’t a bad thing in itself, but problems occur if it isn’t managed in the right way.

Anger is also a mixture of both emotional and physical changes. A big surge of energy goes through your body as chemicals, such as adrenaline, are released.

Once the cause of the anger is resolved, you may still have to deal with the physical effects – all that energy has to go somewhere. This can be taken out on another person, such as a partner, or an object – by punching a wall, for example. This last option can lead down the road to self-harm….

Q: What are the most effective anger management techniques?
I used to go to anger management in year 7 and then i changed schools and was doing some outside and inside of school. But i didn’t see any improvement, so i stopped which was stupid. I just don’t turn up. I feel like i need to do it but i don’t to seem like a freak, and i also feel i am putting it on but cant control it and feels like no one understands.

A: The goal of anger management is to reduce both your emotional feelings and the physiological arousal that anger causes. You can’t get rid of, or avoid, the things or the people that enrage you, nor can you change them, but you can learn to control your reactions. If we practice the patience of voluntarily accepting suffering, we can maintain a peaceful mind even when experiencing suffering and pain. If we maintain this peaceful and positive state of mind through the force of mindfulness, unhappy minds will have no opportunity to arise. On the other hand, if we allow ourselves to dwell on unhappy thoughts there will be no way for us to prevent anger from arising.

Be Forgiving – It is not easy to forget a deed that may have caused a lot of anger inside you. If there are any wounds from an emotionally charged relationship or interaction that you are still carrying and heavily weighing you down, then why are you still carrying it?

Simple relaxation tools, such as deep breathing and relaxing imagery, can help calm down angry feelings. There are books and courses that can teach you relaxation techniques, and once you learn the techniques, you can call upon them in any situation. If you are involved in a relationship where both partners are hot-tempered, it might be a good idea for both of you to learn these techniques.

For many people anger is a disruptive force that controlling can be very difficult. It helps to know that there are a number of herbal and homeopathic ingredients which have been shown to greatly help with the control and management of anger outbursts, fits, and rage. Nux vom. is one such ingredient and it is commonly recommended to people who are prone to irritability, and anger and those with impatient tempers.

Another useful homeopathic ingredient is Chamomilla which is particularly effective when the emotional reaction seems out of proportion to the situation or event. This ingredient is wonderfully calming and can be used to soothe anger and irritability as well as any underlying anxiety. Lastly, Lycopodium can be used to address uncontrollable anger outbursts and is especially useful for those who find it difficult to express their emotions.

Q: Do you have some good Anger Management techniques ?
I try to control my anger, but it doesn’t work. Please give me some more techniques. Thanks

A: 1. One Step Back!
When you feel you are in a provoking anger situation, step back in your mind. Say to yourself: “Stop! Wait a second! Is this one of those situations that drives me crazy? Is it what I want?” If the situation involves a person ask yourself about the motivation that stays behind the provocation: “Is that person doing this intentionally or not?” This helps to elevate you over the problem allowing you to look at it with different eyes.

2. Breathe Deep!
Breathing deeply with your diaphragm helps to lower the adrenaline level and calm you. Inhale deeply and then hold your breath for a couple of seconds, and then exhale. Repeat this procedure until you have calmed yourself down. Keep repeating yourself and picture the words: “Take it easy! Relax! Take it easy!”

Q: What are some good Anger Management techniques?
Don’t say Gusfrabba. I’m Not looking on how to avoid getting angry, I’m looking for non-destructive ways of dealing with the emotion. “Quiet” (for lack of a better word) exercises dont work for me, my anger brews and if I try and sit quietly and do something while angry, I just get more worked up.

A: there are a few techniques that seem to work ;finding somewhere to scream is one,meditation is another,taking a short brisk walk is another ,playdoh or artist clay worked by the hands is another and finally either bubble wrap or when you find yourself so pissed off at someone your going to blow stop and think very hard 1 have you ever done something to someone to piss them off2try and look at the events that transpired from their point of view 3remember that we all make stupid mistakes periodically and we will continue to throughout our lives but we are not the sum of our mistakes ,they are only a stumble on the road we call life and they should never color us in the eyes of others nor should we allow ourselves to color others by their mistakes no matter how large or small it may seem to us now

Q: I’ve tried lot’s of different anger management techniques and none seem to work can anyone help?
I am a teenager, I seem to get angry and not realize what I am doing till after i have hurt someone or broken something. Its only not long got worse can anyone help i cant afford counseling and anger management at school seems to do nothing for me.?

A: Seek Christ. He can forgive the sins you have committed. The sins that will send you to hell. He died on the Cross, His Blood was shed, so that you can receive this forgiveness. Only God can change us!

Q: What are some effective anger management techniques?
I tried deep breathing. It doesn’t work for me.

A: Here are some proven ways of controlling your anger. Firstly, drink a glass or maybe a few of water. This has to be the simplest way to prevent having an angry outburst. When water flows through your system, it is known to soothe the nerves. In doing so, the angry reactions from you get delayed and often experts in this domain feel that if the first 30 seconds after the event go peacefully, the anger outburst could well die down. Scientifically thus, consuming some water at times when you could get angry is a pro-active step.

Secondly, walk away from the event. Now, this is easier said than done because some events will drag you even if you do not want to be. But if you have one of those perennial hot heads, staying away from the event could be helpful. It will help you alienate yourself from the event and thus also cutting you off emotionally from the event. This could work wonderfully well in keeping your anger to yourself. The problem is that a lot of people ruminate on the event once they are isolated from it. This should not be done, as it negates the purpose of going away from the event at the first place.

Thirdly, think constructively about the problem in hand. An angry rebuke from you is often an indicator that you are probably unhappy about something, maybe a problem. Instead of showing off your displeasure, why don’t you think positively on finding a solution to the problem?

Rather than asking “Why in the world did this thing happen to me?”, it will be beneficial for you if you ask “How can I fix this problem?” Mind you, it is just a matter of perception here as a lot of people tend to analyze a problem for some time before getting on to the solution.

Anger Management is not a tough thing to do, as you can see from the above measures. It often needs your committed involvement to the real simple things in life. If done properly, any anger management technique can work wonderfully well.

Q: What are some anger management techniques I can teach my children?

A: With something like that, its more about modeling the proper ways to react in frustrating situations. As long as you have effective ways of dealing with anger, teach them your techniques, chances are they’re already paying attention anyways and have caught on to whatever it is that you do to calm down. If you don’t have healthy anger habits, I’d suggest changing them… because children get a lot more from their parents than just genetics.
