Types of Anger Management
The goal of anger management is to teach you to control yourself during bouts of anger and to be more constructive in getting your point across when you're angry. Expressing anger is a perfectly normal feeling, but when it's coupled with shouting, cussing and fits of rage, it can be devastating to those around you.
Humor
In the midst of anger we tend to say things we shouldn't say, and some things we say make no sense at all if taken literally. If you take the phrase "it's like I'm talking to a brick wall," and imagine the person as a brick wall with legs, arms and glasses, we might just laugh a little. This is the focal point of humor therapy; to take what you're about to say literally and imagine it. This helps you to calm down in the midst of anger.
Learning Communication Skills
Learning communication skills can help you find a better way to get your point across in a discussion. It also teaches you have patience when it comes to hearing the other person out.
Relaxation
Learning deep breathing exercises can help calm down nerves in any situation. This is because slow rhythmic breathing encourages the heart rate and breathing to slow down which helps to relax you naturally. Learning meditation methods and practicing them daily can help you have a clear and focused head throughout the day.
