Dealing With Anger

Anger contributes to physical illness, especially heart disease, consumes huge amounts of mental and physical energy, threatens and sometimes destroys relationships and families, can ruin careers and undermine self esteem.  Angry outbursts can result in days of self recrimination and agonised self talk. No wonder it is one of the most sought after therapies. So, if you are reading this and have a problem with anger, take comfort from the fact that you are not on your own.

Anger has many causes. It can be a learnt behaviour, learnt from a parent or other adult. It can be a coping strategy that has been adopted to handle the stresses of everyday living. It can be caused by feelings that people or events just do not ever fit in with us. It can be due to tiredness or fatigue, or some event deep in our past that keeps getting triggered and produces such a violent response. Whatever the cause, it is outside conscious control, for if it were not, we would have done something about it?

Some schools of thought say anger should be expressed, others it should be suppressed. Both have their merits. But the best way to deal with anger is to stop it occurring in the first place.

Do you realise how much space anger is taking up in your life? Many people report that once they were free of anger, they were amazed how much their lives changed.  It would appear that once anger is removed there is space in your life to be relaxed, to have fun, to share your life with those near and dear to you.

NLP has many approaches that can help you to identify the triggers to your anger and to defuse them. This has a cumulative effect. The more triggers you remove, the more space and freedom you find that you have, the more space you have the more able you are to deal with your anger.

The following are covered in a full anger management programme:

•  Learning strategies to avoid the anger build up cycle.

• Seeking out and dealing with the route cause.

• Stress control techniques

• Leaning to be assertive without being angry

As part of the programme, you are free to involve your partner in the consultations.

Look forward to that day when people are no longer apprehensive about the reaction that they are going to get from you, but are happy to know you because they know the person you are and are happy to be with you.
