Anger Management

Anger management is a psycho-therapeutic program for anger prevention and control. It has been described as deploying anger successfully. Anger is frequently a result of frustration, or of feeling blocked or thwarted from something the subject feels is important.

Here are some anger management techniques:

• Think before you speak
• Express your concerns when you're calm
• Get some exercise
• Take a timeout
• Identify possible solutions
• Stick with "I" statements
• Don't hold a grudge
• Use humor to release tension
• Relaxation techniques like deep breathing and relaxing imagery
• Cognitive restructuring
• Problem solving
• Better communication
• Changing your environment

You can also try exploring what's behind your anger, being aware of your anger warning signs, and identifying your triggers.
