BLOCKS TO ANGER

1) The Mr. Nice Guy or Don't Make Waves Syndrome in which to be angry is to risk rejection.

2) Emotional isolationism which is founded on the belief that if one doesn't get involved with other people, one won't get hurt. Anger is seen as a treat to a person's non-involved status - it shows he/she "cares". He would rather cool it and remain safe.

3) The need for control r master. Anger is seen as a loss of control, and loss of control is threatening.

To be continued...

- Types of Anger
- What to Do with Anger
- Examples of self-statements for dealing with anger

Preparing for Cofrontation
Reacting During the Confrontation
Coping with Reacting
Reflecting on the Experience
The consequences of Bottling up Rage

This material was received by me when I volunteered at Women's Detox and received from a treatment center called Aurora House.

I do not have a scanner, so please be patient and I will post what I can as I believe it is very important information to share. Anger has been a big issue for me, so I am also hoping to get some help and information from this as I type it.
