ANGER MANAGEMENT

1. Write out clear statement: "I'm angry because.........."

2. Study your anger. Make a list of reasons why it makes you angry.

• Visualize yourself in a room with the person. Write down what you would say to that person.

3. Put yourself in the other person's shoes. Allow yourself to be "wrong" sometimes.

4. Avoid blaming, attacking, or bringing up other grievances.

5. Use "I" statements. "I get angry when..." Blaming statements often start with you. "You never..." Blaming leads to defensiveness and more anger.

 6. Can the situation be changed or avoided in the future?

• If the answer is YES, think about how can be accomplished. If the answer is NO, work toward acceptance. Remember you can't control other people's behavior, but you can control the way you respond.

7. Use relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, exercises or imaginary focusing on a peaceful place, thought, or sound.

8. Write a letter to the person with whom you are angry. Refrain from delivering the letter for a few days. When you review it, you may decide to take another approach.

9. Find a physical outlet for anger, such as exercise or housework.

10. Set a time limit for anger. Then let it go.

• Stop and think. Make a good choice."
• "Remember to breathe when your tummy gets tight. Breath. 
• "Use your words, not your fists. People are not for hurting."
• "You can do it. I know you can get your mads under control."
• I understand, right now you are feeling mad. Still, you can't hurt people, things or yourself."
• "You are the kind of kid who can take care of his own bad feelings."
• "Go to a safe place and draw out your mads."
• "You have a choice: Talk out your feelings or go to time out and get your mads under control."
• "Well, I'm feeling mad right now myself. I'm going to go cool off, and then we'll talk."
• "I know how you feel. Sometimes I get mad myself. Then I tell myself, "It's OK to be mad if you are nice about it."
• share your angry feelings with your therapist.
