Anger Management / Frustration Problem With Frustration

865 Words2 Pages

ANGER MANAGEMENT/FRUSTRATION The problem with this feeling of victimization is that when you have the belief that this feeling of anger does not originate in you, there is no longer a reason to change the feeling in you. Instead, this feeling of oppression always means that there is someone or something oppressing you. And so the responsibility for your emotion is projected onto someone else. Now that your anger is someone else’s fault, there is no reason to confront your feelings. The action that you will take, or at least want to take, is to change that person or thing that you believe caused you to become angry. People who chronically suppress their anger carry certain characteristics to their personality. They tend to have at least one addictive behavior, such as gambling, drinking, drugs, etc. They tend to be moody and cope with their moodiness by trying to feel happy, and also try to be around other people who they believe are happy. They try to keep their inner struggle with anger out of their awareness, as well as away from other people’s awareness. This struggle is a constant struggle and so the need to suppress their feelings and redirect their attention is also constant and tends to be impulsive, rising and falling with the tides of their inner struggle. Individuals who chronically suppress anger tend to find others who are going through similar struggles Level 0. You are feeling totally calm and relaxed. You may feel happy and excited about something or not. You have no anger or irritation at any level. Level 1. You feel a very slight anxiety or irritability, but it 's not affecting your behavior. You can barely notice it when you try. Your mind is open, and you 're very aware of the "big picture" perspecti... ... middle of paper ... ...rds. You also might be planning how to abandon, neglect or reject them. At this level, your thoughts are obsessed and totally focused on your pain, fear and anger whether you know it or not. You are ruled by your emotions at this level. Level 10. At this point you have become dangerous to yourself and/or others. You are in the depths of fight-or-flight, and your primitive survival-based brain has taken over. You have tunnel vision and single-minded thought. All you can think about is how to make the pain and/or stress stop. It is a very helpless feeling. You are desperate, and willing to take desperate action. Your fear and anger are doing your thinking for you. Rate yourself:
At my best I am--fill in the number(s)_______________________ At my worst I feel in the numers(s)______________________ Most of the time, I feel in the number(s)__________________

    The results suggested that Ms. M is vulnerable to emotional disruptions. Specifically, she is often confused by situations in which emotion is involved, experiences feelings more intensely than others, and struggles bringing closure to emotional situations. In addition, she is not very careful about modulating her emotional discharges, which is noticeable to others. Moreover, Ms. M may be experiencing some significant anger, which influences her overall view of her environment, and affects her decision making, problem solving, and coping. Her anger also hinders her from having close relationships with others. Ms. M’s emotional issues are causing her to experience some distress. Her distress may manifest as depression, anxiety, apprehension, or other various issues (i.e., lethargy and insomnia).

    Some methods may be similar to others, and some methods may be completely unorthodox. One might use the ten-count method as I had mentioned earlier in coping with anger. This allows the individual to take a breath and re-evaluate the situation at a slower and more understanding rate. Exercise is also a great method in coping with anger. It allows the person to take out their frustrations through vigorous activity. This method harms no one and keeps the body fit. Talking out the problem with someone can also relieve some of the confusion and anger. This can give the individual a better understanding of the problem and maybe allow them to fix the dilemma. Each and every one of these methods can help cope with anger by allowing the individual to think using their mammalian part of the brain, rather than simply responding with instinctive

    Everyone experiences anger at some point in their life. We all have those topics that if it gets brought up we automatically go into our defense mood, whether it be sex, religion or politics . We all have had those skeletons in our closets that we don’t like to bring out. Commonly anger and aggression are used together but they aren’t the same thing according to the Interpersonal Conflict textbook, “Anger differs from aggression is an attack whereas anger is the feeling connected to a perceived unfairness or injustice. Anger can help people set boundaries when they need to be set and to right wrongs.”

    Whether that be because a coworker has been a complete crap to you all day, or your kid didn’t listen to you and ended up getting hurt for the thousandth time in a row, to getting ultimately stressed and frustrated because your teachers didn’t enter in grades and denies any proof of that occurring, we’ve all been there. When I’ve seen others get angry, they become confrontational or even start yelling, some people that I know of even throw things either at the people that they are angry at, or at other areas, such as walls. There are four different types of angry people: the avoiders, who avoid the situation completely and ignore their anger, bottling it up; the destroyers, who throw things out of anger in order to relieve it; the screamers, who scream, yell or even just become straightforward and rude either towards the person that they are angry towards; the avengers, who come up with plans to get back at the person who angered them, though most times those people don’t actually go through with their villainy plots. The ‘trigger’s, or the things that set people off to become angry, vary from person to person. In my experience, most triggers come from when someone does something that truly peeves them, which could be anything from loud noises to the mood that the other person has towards

    ...ring in today’s society and there are no cures for them. Anger can lead to strokes and heart attack which could lead to other problems or even death. The final step of controlling anger is to drop the situation that caused the anger in the first place. If a person is feeling angry they should explore the problem to see how they can treat it and what to do and what no to do. Children handle anger differently than adults because they will throw fits and temper tantrums but, the main difference is children don’t know how to control their anger and adults do. Women handle anger the same as men because men and women handle their anger by either hurting others or just yelling. People have frequent outburst of anger but some are worse than others and are expressed differently. So in conclusion anger should be controlled or helped so no one gets hurt mentally or physically.

  • Essay On Dealing With Anger

    Expressing, suppressing and calming are the three ways of dealing with anger. The healthiest way is to express your feelings in an assertive - and not aggressive - manner. Suppressing your anger and then converting or re-directing it to other positive ways, is another way. This way of handling of anger can cause hypertension, high blood pressure or depression. You can defuse anger through diversion, distraction, humor or by talking about it, so as to calm you down. The third way is to force you to calm down inside, by controlling internal responses. You can be angry every day but learn not to show it so as to minimize the problems it may create, by any strategic manner. Culture does not allow one to show anger. If anger is not allowed to express, it stays in disguise. Anger built up over years can break even

    This can either be a positive or negative thing and how you act on it, or do not act, can show how in control and effective you are with your feelings. According to the text, “just because you feel a certain way does not mean you have to act on it” and that “people who act out angry feelings actually feel worse than those who experience anger without lashing out” (Adler, Rosenfeld, Proctor II, year?). Even though acting on your feelings may seem uncontrollable, it is important to deal with them in a different and more productive way. Recognizing how you feel and using the right approach during a constructive conversation is always better than quickly lashing out without completely understanding the situation or how you feel besides angry. Furthermore, “recognizing the difference between feeling and acting can liberate you from the fear that getting in touch with certain emotions will commit you to a course of action” (Adler, Rosenfeld, Proctor II, year?). Understanding your emotions is important so that you will be able to experience feelings that may upset you and still be able to deal with them from a positive standpoint. Once you can separate your feelings from actions you will be able to make more rational
