Tips and Techniques to Manage Anger Fast and Easily

By Malone Laurel

As an adult we hope to deal with our anger issues and move onto more effective ways of communicating our feelings. We start to see anger as an unhelpful, inelegant way of conveying our hurt or displeasure and quickly learn that it doesn't resolve matters.

It often simply prevents us from moving on. Far better to learn to deal with emotive situations calmly and rationally, rather than let our feelings dictate and get the better of us.

When we find ourselves constantly resorting to anger, unable to deal well with conflict or disappointment we need to concern ourselves with finding other ways to resolve and sort out our anger issues.

Learn how to deal with effectively without so much stress in this book.

Enjoy

Introduction

This guide, unlike most of the ones you will find on websites, is not aimed at a specific psychopathology but rather at dealing with a family of emotions: the family of anger.

This family includes a large number of emotions with multiple nuances: annoyance, irritation, animosity, resentment, resentment, hostility, hatred, anger, revolt, rage ... Anger is not necessarily problematic in itself.

It will become so when its intensity, frequency and the behaviors that result from it cause suffering or significant disruption of relationships and functioning.

First of all, it is important to distinguish anger from the aggressive behavior that sometimes results from it. Anger when contained can arise without any aggressive behavior following.

Aggressive behavior can also occur without the person acting them feeling angry. They can be issued without qualms (for example, the hitman who does his job coldly) or even with a certain arousal (for example the pleasure of the person in a sadistic position in a sadomasochistic sexual relationship).

This guide does not present a new approach, but seeks to integrate the tools suggested by the main authors who have worked in the field.

The first works on the subject used an essentially cognitive approach.

Behavioral and cognitive tools were then combined, and third wave concepts from dialectical behavior therapy were also applied to anger management.

Numerous controlled studies and some Meta-analyzes tend to show that these approaches are effective and that the benefits obtained tend to be maintained over time.

However, it is difficult to draw definitive conclusions because the populations studied are diverse, the techniques used vary and the results heterogeneous.

We have tried to integrate the main tools into a cohesive whole. It is not necessary and probably not desirable to apply all
