The Heavy Costs of Anger
| Posted on May 1, 2011 at 6:26 PM |
The Heavy
Costs of Anger If you are
like most people, you are probably intelligent and have good skills for
resolving conflict and difficulties – when you are notangry. After you have cooled down, you can calmy
identify and agree that you did not function at your best while in a state of rage. While anger
may help in some situations, it is rarely helpful in making positive change or
solving conflicts. Although anger is a
normal human emotion, it is hardly the most useful for solving problems. Anger
often leads to aggression. Aggression
can be seen in many forms of violence, including road rage, desk rage, spousal
abuse, child abuse , animal abuse, elder abuse and violence between
children. The evening news is filled
with examples. While anger does not
automatically lead to aggression, it often does. It is frequently a blueprint for
violence. For many of you, who may not
have considered addressing this issue on your own, Anger Management classes may well be an
opportunity to improve your ability to manage intense emotions and to practice healthy styles of communication. Adapted from Gaining
Control of Ourselves, pgs. 21-23.
Anderson and Anderson 2005. Gaining
Control of Ourselves is the workbook used to support material taught in our
classes. |
