    ANGER MANAGEMENT

    Inborn temperament -
    Some people are anxious and cautious, others are by
    nature are quick-tempered and irritable, and have a
    lower tolerance for frustration.
    Having angry parents -
    Many people with a bad temper say one or both of
    their parents got angry easily, and they couldn't help
    but pick up their style.
    ANGER MANAGEMENT

    Family environment -

    Growing up in a chaotic, stressful family situation,


    where the members don't know how to resolve
    conflict very well, can result in some individuals
    developing a bad temper.
    ANGER MANAGEMENT

    Culture -
    Some cultures have a reputation for being
    'passionate'. Masculine culture often teaches that
    anger is the only acceptable emotion for a man to feel
    when he is upset.
    Certain work environments also encourage a macho,
    confrontational approach to dealing with disputes.
    ANGER MANAGEMENT

    Finding that it works - Although it's usually


    harmful in the long run, anger has its short-term
    benefits. Someone may have learned from
    experience that having an angry style helps them get
    that they want.
    Causes of Anger

     Some people show signs of anger problems earlier in


    their life, but their environment doesn't tolerate it
    and nips the issue in the bud. For example, a child
    may be sent to an anger management group, or a
    teenager may be forced to start seeing a counsellor
    after she gets into too many fights. 
    ANGER MANAGEMENT

    Two main ways of managing anger:

     Calm yourself if you are already mad

     Apply a long term anger prevention techniques


    ANGER MANAGEMENT

    If you are already riled up, here are some suggestions:

     Leave the situation


     Count to ten
     Speak calming phrases to yourself
     Picture calming images
    ANGER MANAGEMENT

    Put a humorous spin in the situation (Make fun of


    the situation)

    Do something Physical to burn off the angry energy,


    (Exercise: do push ups or a jog)
    ANGER MANAGEMENT

    According to Jerry Deffenbacher, PhD, a


    psychologist who specializes in anger management,
    some people really are more "hot-headed" than
    others are; they get angry more easily and more
    intensely than the average person does.
    ANGER MANAGEMENT

    There are also those who don't show their anger in


    loud spectacular ways but are very irritable and
    grumpy. Easily angered people don't always curse
    and throw things; sometimes they withdraw socially,
    sulk, or get physically ill.
    ANGER MANAGEMENT

    People who are easily angered generally have what


    some psychologists call a low tolerance for
    frustration. They feel that they should never have to
    feel frustration, inconvenience, nor annoyance.
    They can't take things in stride, and they're
    particularly infuriated if the situation seems
    somehow unjust: for example, being corrected for a
    minor mistake.
    Causes of Anger

    What are some causes for people to be so angry?


    ANGER MANAGEMENT

     Genetic or physiological
     Some children were born irritable, angry and very touchy
    Socio Cultural Circumstances
    Self Judgement (Self contempt)
    Belief system of the mind
    ANGER MANAGEMENT

    Anger is often regarded as negative; we're taught


    that it's alright to express anxiety, depression, or
    other emotions but not to express anger. As a result,
    we don't learn how to handle it or channel it
    constructively.
    ANGER MANAGEMENT

    Anger cannot be eliminated —and it wouldn't be a


    good idea if you could.
    Things will happen that will cause you anger; and
    sometimes it will be justifiable anger.
     Life will be filled with frustration, pain, loss, and the
    unpredictable actions of others
