Angry? Who, Me??? Part 1

Someone been asking me about anger management, som epoints here for reading. We develop a dysfunctional style of expressing and responding to anger that we learned during childhood. As we grow older, we are likely to develop an adult version of one of the early inappropriate styles listed below. Any of these look familiar?

1.The Silent One -- Withdraw when angry, leaving others wondering what went wrong. She may mope and not speak for days

2.The Suffering One -- She says she feels no anger, yet seethes underneath, accepts things in a martyr-like way

3.The Shooter -- She’s quick to express anger and quick to forge it. She is impulsive, volatile and does not realize the impact this behavior has on others

4.The Sarcastic -- She hides her hurt and anger by sarcastic and intellectual criticism

5.The Guilty One -- She hides her anger at others by telling herself she is responsible for everything that goes wrong. She often puts herself down and feels unworthy. Anger is a normal human emotion. It tells us that something is wrong. It exists to deliver a message and to let others know how we feel. If we learn to recognize our anger, we will express it directly and openly at the time the feelings occur, or as close to the time as possible. There is resolution in the very act of expressing our feelings, even though we cannot change the circumstance or the person involved

Anger that is not felt, expressed and managed gets suppressed and affects our health and our relationships. Unmanaged and suppressed anger contributes to depression, rebellious behavior and insomnia. We can get headaches, stomach aches, and we want to go to the refrigerator every hour even though we are not hungry. We walk around stuffing it, misdirecting it or escalating it -- everything but expressing it appropriately and letting it go.and quick to forge it. She is impulsive, volatile and does not realize the impact this behavior has on others

which one am I... 1.2.3... :)
