Your jaw is locked, you are gritting your teeth, the veins are standing out on your neck, your fists are clenched and it is all you can do to keep from knocking that guy's teeth out of his head that just shoved you out of the way and called you a few choice names in the process. Ah, another fun day in the life of Joe Blow, the average Man on the Street, with the raging stress level and someone barely holding on to his temper almost every day of the week. We are all that guy in one way or another, and with the economy in the tank, the government out of control and being run by miscreants, and our lives upside down; it's no wonder there is so much road rage and murders and angry word exchanges at work.
So, where lies the answer to help with all this bottled up rage and anxiety that Americans are feeling? For many, help lies in the form of an anger management class where you can vent your feelings, be heard, and responded to not only by your peers, but also by someone who is professionally trained to guide the group to finding helpful solutions.
Just the fact that you can join a group of folks who are similarly upset and have anger problems, is a big help for many, because you all come from the same vantage point in your feelings---whatever the initial reason is or was for your individual anger. Being able to get your feelings out of your system in a productive way is a positive move, and an anger management class provides the environment for that kind of positivity; not to mention the fact that you will see just how pervasive anger can be for others, and that in itself will help you move through your own recovery and growth.
A lot of folks cannot deal with anger at all, and are classified as people with a short fuse or a bad temper. In some ways, that's a good thing for you physically because the stress does not stay bottled up inside to cause health problems; but the reverse can be just as detrimental in the fact that if you strike out at the other person at whom you are venting your rage, you may end up physically hurt or even dead.
Another thought on this is that there are all kinds of courses and classes on the Internet that can be accessed just by browsing up anger management class online, and then scanning the listings until you find one that sounds like a fit for you and is something you can afford. There are many larger companies that work with these anger management groups online and offer their employees the opportunity to join a class as a work benefit; also, people who are ordered by the court system to join an anger management class can use these courses as well.
Anger is an insidious thing, and for many folks it can become all consuming and terrifying in some respects, because the individual suffering from uncontrolled anger feels like his self control has been taken over by something else and the anger is on autopilot, controlling the situation completely. Professional help is definitely needed in situations like this, and an anger management class can help, as well as one on one help. The class is better for some people, because they thrive on the interaction of the members of the group and gain comfort in talking about themselves and getting positive feedback from the group and the therapist.
Life is full of stress and people interactions that are negative and anger provoking, and if you do not have an effective way of dealing with this stress and pent up emotion and rage, very negative occurrences can ensue and possibly ruin your life in many unforeseen ways. A well run anger management class can help with unloading these problems and working on alleviating the stress and the desire to go out and settle the matters physically, therefore giving you a more constructive way of dealing with life in general. - 30309
