Anger Management Support

Here’s how you can garner all the support you need in order to succeed at anger management:

·         Keep in mind that most people want to be supportive — they’re just waiting on you to give them an opportunity. Take the initiative and ask your closest friends and family members for their support. Support that goes unrecognized or unused does you no good. Most people have far more support than they take advantage of. This is no time to think, “I don’t want to be a burden on anyone.” Believe me, you’re more of a burden when you’re angry than when you’re not!

·         Be willing to give support to your friends and family in turn. Support must be reciprocal. In order to receive it, you must give it.

·         Keep in mind that no one person can satisfy all your support needs. One person may be able to offer emotional support, while another may help out in a more tangible way. Don’t be too surprised if, at first, you have trouble getting support for your efforts at anger management. Remember: You've probably hurt a lot of people with your anger over the years — and they may have some lingering resentment, fear, and uncertainty. That’s natural. But if you’re truly committed to managing your anger, chances are they’ll eventually rally to your cause.
