Hi everyone,


Try out this anger management techniques. It really works!

a) Practice deep-breathing exercises, and yoga which helps to relax the muscles as well as calming the mind.

b) Try to defuse your anger by using humor.

c) Try counting to ten before saying anything. This may not address the anger directly, but it can minimize the damage you will do while angry.

d) Slowly repeat a calm word or phrase such as "relax," "take it easy." Repeat it to yourself while breathing deeply

e) Getting a massage from a nice spa or massage center also helps in chilling out your mind and body.

f) Think carefully before you say anything. It is better not say any anything than to say something regretful.

e) Try to calm yourself. Ask yourself, "How will this behavior be of any use to me?"

g) Take yourself out of the environment that is a breeding ground for more anger.

h) Go out for shopping may be for buying clothes, shoes or jewelery. It will help you distract your mind from the cause of anger.

Yeah! I love those techniques, and have used them. The most enjoyable is the shopping.

But really, I know its hard to count to 10, in the past I have counted aloud to ten. I may have to turn my head from the source of anger but it helps, and once in awhile the source of anger realizes my need to escape from the situation then defuses the situation, it has seemed counting out loud helped and stopped whatever was happening.

I think those are all good ideas, cept for the shopping one. Isn't shopping when you are angry, sort of like grocery shopping when you are hungry?

I have a good internet friend who gets so angry so often. Wonder what a friend can do to help a friend who gets so mad? I believe she has PTSD from Katrina which adds to/caused the anger.

It is never directed at me. She just has expections from others and gets mad when they let her down.

Any ideas of what a supportive friend can do to help? Our friendship is currently limited to forums and emails.
