Anger Management
If there's one emotion that society says you are supposed to keep bottled up,
it's anger. Anger is a powerful, natural human reaction. If used correctly it can
spur people on, creating positive change. Some of the great social advances of
the 20th Century, such as votes for women and civil rights for blacks in America,
were spurred by individuals' feelings of anger. If not channelled correctly however
it is dangerous. It has massive social implications on your family, your career and
ultimately YOU....
Anger management is not only for youngsters who fall foul of the law, but
for stressed-out bosses who bark at their workers, tense school kids who display
signs of bullying behaviour or even those experiencing the growing problem of
road rage.
Most of us handle anger and rage badly. We tend to fall into one of
two camps: exploders or imploders.
- Exploders quickly move from anger into rage
having "adult temper tantrums". Exploders are irrational in their
regressed state and cause harm to themselves and to those around them.
- Imploders, meanwhile, bottle their anger up because of fear, insecurity
and low self-esteem. Initially it appears to cause little harm. But
imploders cannot hold the anger in forever. They are walking time bombs,
just waiting to explode."
The aim of my anger management treatment is to help people avoid being
either an exploder or an imploder; to ensure that anger is channelled positively.
Using the latest, proven methods I can show you quick, effective and long lasting
techniques to combat anger or rage. I can provide invaluable help to everyone
from law enforcement personnel to corporate executives or schoolteachers and
their charges and anyone else dealing with their own or another's anger.
In a recent survey*, 65% of office workers had experienced "office
rage"; 53% had been the victims of bullying at work; and 45% of staff
regularly lost their temper at work - which may not be surprising when you
consider that the average modern working day consists of dealing with 46
phone calls, 15 internal memos, 19 items of external post and 22 e-mails.
Britain is reportedly the top road rage country in the
European Union - 80.4% of drivers claim to have been involved in road rage
incidents, and one in four drivers admit to having "committed a road
rage incident".
Then there's "shopping rage" - Britons spend 407 hours per
person per year shopping, and over half of us have stormed out of a shop
due to "bad service" or "feelings of frustration".
Anger seems to follow Brits even when they go on holidays abroad - 14% get
stressed out about time off work, and apparently there was a 400% increase
in incidents of "air rage" between 1997 and 2000.
If anger consumes YOU let’s deal with it – now!
