Anger Management

Anger management is most effective when it addresses the deep causes of anger. That is why this page is designed to help you discover your own unique emotional truth.

You might find that one or two of these exercises may not be a great fit for you, but it is important that you try each of them. You may discover some uncomfortable truths about yourself in doing these exercises. Try to be nice to yourself, and schedule a session if you want some help or support. If you become overwhelmed at any point, just stop and rest.

Some of these exercises ask you to complete a sentence. Please read the sentence-stem either aloud or silently and then let the sentence finish itself without trying to pre-think an ending. Feel free to change the sentence-stem in order to make it feel more true. Repeat the exercise over and over until you are not getting any new endings before going on to the next one.

1. Begin by imagining waking up in the morning and going through the enitre day without any trace of anger. Not only do you feel no anger, but you know that you never will again. You experience the same types of frustrations and people treat you the same way, but the anger is gone. Pay careful attention to anything that feels unwelcome about this reality. Spend some time with this experience before moving on.
Write down what you learn.
