Written by Thomas Crown on November 12th, 2009
I’m sure everyone has seen the movie Anger Management or has heard of it at least. It stars Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson. It’s about Jack trying to teach Adam how to control his anger by using different techniques. This is a funny movie, however in all reality anger issues is by far means no laughing matter. Many people have anger issues and if they don’t address them they’ll just get worst.
Thousands of Americans each year suffer from anger management issues. The question becomes how does a person go about finding an appropriate anger management technique that will help them control their anger.
There are several methods that can be used in trying to deal with anger and help in the process of anger management. One of these methods is described as trying to reach an agreement with the person. Another method of anger management is to meditate along with deep breathing and trying to relax.
The direct method is one recommended by psychologists. The concept here is to work on expressing honest feelings about the other person in a “hands off” manor. It is important in this method to keep an open line of communication with the person who you are upset with.
Another approach to anger management is called the honorable method. This is where you take responsibility for your actions and you don’t make excuses for the reasons why you did what you did. This is considered to be the hardest method as it is often times hard to admit self failure and admit where you are lacking.
The next approach you can use to help with your anger management issues is the focused approach. This works great if you are in the middle of an argument with somebody else. With this method you will stick to the issue that is present; you don’t want to bring up the past in the middle of an argument. It’s like adding fuel to the fire if you bring up past issues!
With the listen method to anger management techniques instead of trying to out talk the person your having a problem with, you instead sit and listen to what they have to say. Once there finished you then explain your reasoning. If both of you are shouting or speaking at the same time nothing is being heard. One of you has to be the bigger person and just listen first then speak your mind after you have heard the other persons reasoning. Just remember when it’s your turn regardless if the other person has yelled or not, remain calm.
Anger management techniques are only effective if the person with the issue is willing to be open to hearing the problem, this is often the roadblock that defeats most attempts at trying implement effective anger management techniques.
People who are in contact with someone who has anger issues need to realize to that it is important for both parties to work at the problem. The person with the problem needs to try to keep their cool while the other person needs to not provoke them. This is an ongoing process that takes a lot of practice and open communication.
