How to deal with anger is a problem that many people ask about. It’s a common problem for my clients who have an addiction to psychics and tarot readers. They become livid with themselves for the time and money spent on psychic telephone lines or tarot readings. It's also a problem for people who self-sabotage themselves because they don't deal with their anger effectively.
Anger is an emotion that often gets a bad press. Why is that? Everyone gets angry now and then, some of us get angry very often. Some can control anger. Some of us express our anger freely, others suppress it. Why do we get angry? Is there any way to control it? How to deal with anger?
Is Anger a Useful Emotion?
Personally, I believe anger can be a useful emotion. When you’re in a flunk and someone comes along and deliberately presses your buttons, acts negatively towards you or puts you down, then anger can be a good thing. It feels empowering to lose your shit now and then!
The problem is when anger is your conditioned response. Someone says something you don’t like, and you snap back. You’re thwarted from carrying out Plan A and become so angry you don’t even consider Plan B… or C… or anything else in fact.
Often how you react to something is just how you were taught to respond. Perhaps when you were growing up, the people around you reacted with anger when they didn’t get their own way. Maybe you internalized those reactions and flew off the handle without really understanding why. It’s a case of ‘re-enacting’ what you experienced.
Why Learn How to Deal with Anger?
Why learn how to deal with anger? Because there’s the danger that feeling angry with yourself or others leads to the belief that you’re unable to control your emotions or actions. This, in turn, can become a self-fulfilling prophecy. But it doesn’t need to be.
Many techniques can help you understand and control your anger. Counselling and anger management helps in many cases by going to the root cause of the emotion and learning how to deal with anger. But traditional forms of anger management are not the only way. Eastern traditions, such as acupuncture and acupressure, can be useful to control emotions.
If you need to get control over your anger, then be open to exploring new options. As you learn to relax and live your life with a sense of ease, you'll discover that calm is the new superpower!
