Anger Management: Does it work or is it a waste of time?By Kathy Garber There has been much controversy in
the past regarding anger management and its usefulness in changing old
angry behaviors that have been around with most adults for a lifetime.
Statistics are now starting to show the positive benefits of anger
management with people who are actively involved in a quality program and
practicing what they are learning on a daily basis. You may be wondering what is so
great about being in charge of your anger, after all it is causing you
problems in your life. The reason I think being in charge of your own
anger is a good thing is because you have the power to change it for the
better. No one can tell you how to do it, you don’t need to buy something
expensive to fix it, you just need determination and the desire to manage
your anger. So many times people attend a structured anger management program that tells them exactly what to do and how to manage their anger. The problem with that philosophy of anger management is that one program does not fit all. Everyone’s needs are different and who likes to be told what to do or what is right for their own life? That in itself can cause you
to fail in anger management because you might not be able to comply with
the program. Who is more an expert of you and your life than you are? The
answers in anger management come from within you. They are there; they
just might need some shaking up. |
