The previous post, local anger management classes in Chicago, came about because of a somewhat lack of anger management class directory listings online – especially when it comes to local listings.
Not particularly sure of the reason for this. Perhaps there’s a lack of people actually searching for anger classes, or maybe not.
How can an emotion like anger have so many different outcomes? How does it negatively effect so many aspects of our lives, if the proper form of anger management isn’t used?
Anne Wolski has an interesting take on anger, which she describes in her article:
Change is difficult, especially for children! The “thinking” part of their brains is not completely developed yet and their emotions are immature. Although children are born with distinctive dispositions, they are effected by the emotional environment in which they are raised. Thus, parents are ultimately responsible for two levels of emotional inheritance; one nature, the other, nurture.
Can you really avoid an argument? I mean really… sometimes arguing is something that can’t be avoided. We all have disagreements with others at some time or another, that’s what makes us different. We can’t always agree 100% of the time… but we can learn to control how we respond to someone when we disagree with them, so we don’t make matters worse.
One of the main aspects of learning how to control your anger is recognizing when you’re getting angry, in the first place. Once you recognize that you are on the verge of blowing up, then you can choose how you want to react.
Most people don’t get to this stage. Instead, they just react on their anger, or whatever caused it… which usually results in actions they later regret.
