Are You Addicted To Anger?

You can walk away from a situation that doesn't feel good, or you can speak up for yourself. You can also explore difficulties with your family. You didn't have any of these options as a child. But unless you accept your helplessness over others, you will try to control them, and anger is the way you've learned to do it. Anger is your automatic controlling, addictive response to protect against feeling that old helplessness. You will continue to be angry until you accept your helplessness over others - over what they choose to do and who they choose to be. Helplessness over others is a very hard feeling to accept. For many people, it feels like a life or death feeling, because as infants we were completely helpless and if no one came we would die. Some of us cried and cried and no one came and we felt helpless over living or dying.

Are You Addicted To Anger?

Anger

Many of us will do anything to avoid another's anger, yet may be quick to anger ourselves. Many of us dread another's anger yet continue to use our own anger as a way to control others. Let's take a deeper look at what generates our anger and how we can learn from it rather than be at the mercy of it.
The feeling anger can come from two different places within us. Anger that comes from an adult, rational place can be called outrage. Outrage is the feeling we have when confronted with injustice. Outrage mobilizes us to take appropriate action when harm is being done to ourselves, others and the planet.

Anger Isn't Always Bad

Experience with anger may leave you with the idea that all anger is bad. Yelling at your children for cooperation doesn't leave you feeling very positively. Watching your children fight when they are angry doesn't give you any warm feelings either. But, anger does have it's purpose in our lives and can teach us a thing or two about how to have healthier, happier relationships. Here are five ways that anger can be a good thing:

Anger Isn't Always Bad

Exploring Beneath the Surface

Unwanted feelings and thoughts are rich territory to dive beneath the surface for fresh insights that open the heart. Imagine for a moment that you are floating along on the ocean of feelings unwilling to accept that the choppy waves to your left signify anger. If you put on snorkeling gear and dive under them, you will see a whole new world. Beneath the anger you will most likely find a hurt or a fear. Now take a deep breath and dive again, looking next to the fear or hurt for a judgement it may have spawned.

Exploring Beneath the Surface

Anger Means You Are Reclaiming Your Power

You may be angry with someone who says, "You can't do that!" when you know perfectly well you can. I am not suggesting you lash out at those who offended you, although I think you can ask for reparation if you can demonstrate real harm. I am not suggesting you make decisions while you are angry. But if you have let your intuition lie dormant or you have responded passively to events around you, anger is a sign that you are getting your power back.

Anger Means You Are Reclaiming Your Power

What Do You Mean 'I'm Angry'?

When you reach your boiling point, what do you do with the steam? This makes all the difference in your relationships at home, at work, and, with yourself. Do you know when you are angry? Many folks don't. Not only are they not aware they are angry, they are not aware how they come across to others when they are angry. This is a big problem... for everyone else.

What Do You Mean 'I'm Angry'?

Myths And Facts About Anger

Although anger is one of the most common emotions that people have, it is the least understood. Sometimes anger is definitely justified. Biologically speaking, anger gets your adrenalin going, and spurs you into action. Research shows that among all the risk factors for heart disease, chronic anger is the most significant predictor -- more than smoking, obesity and high blood pressure. Temper tantrums and other fits of anger are rarely useful. Anger typically occurs in degrees, ranging from mild annoyance to intense rage.

Myths And Facts About Anger

Anger

Vicky never expresses her anger, but receives everyone else's. It is not that she does not feel anger. She often feels hurt and angry, but she never expresses that anger to those around her. She rejected anger as an emotion in her childhood because she had received it continuously from her mother and had sworn never to be like her. Thus, although she frequently feels abused and angry, she never expresses her anger.

Managing Conflict, Emotional Tension and Anger

To be a safe and predictable person for those around you at work and at home, it is essential that you are able to maintain your composure when you feel like your 'buttons' are being pushed. This strength will help you to achieve your goals in business as well as your goals for your personal relationships.

Managing Conflict, Emotional Tension and Anger

Getting Past the Arguments

One of the hardest things to handle in a relationship is conflict. While a good and fair fight can clear the air and help you to feel closer to your lover, many fights are just hurtful and destructive. Fights that never go anywhere, that are repeated year after year, or that leave you feeling awful about yourself are not going to help your relationship. Those are the kinds of fights we need to take another look at, and find out what is going on underneath. This is true for any conflict that doesn't feel right, not just those you have with your lover.

Anger And Your Driving

While there is no one standard definition for aggressive driving, many psychologists see anger as the root cause of the problem. Regardless of the provocation or the circumstances related to problems on the road, it is ultimately our emotional state, our stress levels and our thinking patterns that either cause us to drive aggressively or lead us to be the victims of others.

Anger And Your Driving

Anger Means Your Power is On!

When you feel lost and confused, it is easy to give your power to anyone who appears on your doorstep -- a coach, a counselor, even a good friend or relative. People in transition, who are seeking direction, are especially vulnerable to anyone who offers help. The US government has developed programs to protect newly-bereaved citizens who are vulnerable to claims from funeral services. But if you have let your intuition lie dormant or you have responded passively to events around you, anger is a sign that you are getting your power back. You are turning on the juice. Your intuition is beginning to overpower the wet blankets, the poison darts, and the well-meaning-but-misguided mentors. Recognize, welcome and manage your anger. You are almost certainly ready to take action and experience your own power once again.

Anger Means Your Power is On!

How Empathy Can Reduce Your Anger

It is natural to become angry when frustrated or irritated with people who do or say things at variance with our worldview. To manage anger, it often helps to see our anger as a combination of their behavior and our lack of empathy. While we cannot control other's thoughts, feelings or behaviors, we most certainly can increase our empathy skills. To control our anger with increased empathy, three basic skills are required: listening, self-awareness and acceptance. Empathic listening is a type of listening that goes further than ordinary listening. This type of listening uses another person's point of view to see the world as others see it. It provides a higher level of understanding of how others feel.

How Empathy Can Reduce Your Anger

Signs That Rage Has Turned Into An Addiction

For those who are rageaholics, expressing anger is self-stimulating. It triggers the compulsion for more anger. For example, let's pretend that we are going to provide treatment for alcoholics. On the way to the treatment center we stop and buy a case of beer. When we get to the meeting, we tell the alcoholics in therapy that they just need to do a lot of drinking to get it out of their system once and for all. This is similar to when therapist tell men with rage problems, "You just need to express yourself and get it out of your system." It is just as absurd. The more alcoholics drink, the more they want. The more ragers rage, the more they want to rage.
