Anger & Anger Management
Appropriate anger is a natural human emotion. When it gets out of control and becomes destructive it can sabotage emotional development leading to problems at work, in personal relationships and in overall quality of life. Anger can make life seem out of control while experiencing this powerful emotion. Anger is an emotional state that varies in intensity from mild irritation to intense fury and rage and, as with other emotions, is accompanied by physiological and biological changes. When we get angry, our heart rate and blood pressure go up and we secrete higher levels of adrenaline. Anger can have both external & internal and specific & nonspecific causes. Anger can occur over just about anything, a specific person or event, a result of worrying or brooding about personal problems, traumatic memories or events and frustrating situations where we lose control. One of the ways we express anger is through aggression. As a natural, adaptive response to threats, outwardly displayed anger produces powerful aggressive feelings and behaviors. Instinctively, the immediate response is to fight or flee from threats. A certain amount of anger is natural and necessary for survival. Laws, social constraints and common sense place limits on the expression of anger. It is not appropriate to go around responding aggressively to every irritating person or circumstance. Research has shown that “blowing up”, actually causes an escalation in anger and aggression exacerbating rather than relieving the situation. Suppressing anger, holding it inward, is just as destructive as lashing out. Anger turned inward causes hypertension, depression and a host of other illnesses and negative behaviors, which inhibit our ability to enjoy life and form healthy relationships. Examples of negative behaviors include passive-aggressive actions where one strikes out at people indirectly rather than confronting them head-on, or a person who is constantly cynical, hostile, and hypercritical. Chances are if you have a problem with anger, you know it and are acting in ways that seem out of control and frightening. You may have a low tolerance for frustration. Many people who are easily angered come from families that are disruptive, chaotic and lack healthy emotional communication skills. When angry, thinking can become very exaggerated and overly dramatic, believing ourselves to be morally right and demanding that others do things our way and surrender to our will. The healthiest way to express anger is to be assertive rather than aggressive. The Sidman Solution uncovers and dispels the emotional triggers of anger, which naturally gives way to inner security, better communication skills and an assertive rather than aggressive or passive behavior with others. All relationships improve, especially the one with yourself. Contact Us TODAY to discuss how we can help you with your anger issues!
