Blogs > Within and Inside

This blog is one about symbiosis. Its purpose is to help those out there going through hard times to find solace within. Through the act of questioning our society’s issues and dilemmas, as well as comparing large scale problems to personal ones, we can find a better understanding as who we truly are and how we truly operate. Once we have a firm understanding to this inner dimension our problems will seem less problematic.   This is, perhaps, the grandest of all goals.

Anger Management (especially in relationships)

I am not a man who has been in a ton of relationships. However, I have had enough to know that anger is an issue that will come up. Now, there are a few things that fall into the "anger" category, frustration being one of them. In writing this I fully understand that you or your lover will not always have the control to stop him or herself from reacting, but in order to effectively transmute or dispel the anger you must do one of several things:

  1. Understand that the anger, your or the others, is NOT personal.
  2. Know that the anger is ONLY a reaction and will eventually subside.
  3. Find a way to blow off steam or allow the other person to blow off steam (find a healthy release of the pent up energy, often this is foolishly done by blaming your partner but that will only lead to worsened reactions the second time around)
  4. Admit to yourself that your anger is your responsibility. If it is your partners anger allow them to see it on their own, if you try to make them see it chances are you will come off as blaming or you will have shifted from non-emotional to emotional and trying to push the weight of responsibility onto them.


     


     

    These things are crucial for relationships. If they do not happen, well take a look at a past relationship or someone else's and you will see the results.

I think this are accurate ideas, but I do think some people really need to work on anger management skills beyond these simple things. I think in many cases it's about recognizing trigger behaviors and knowing coping behaviors and releases. I think many people don't seek treatment because they don't know they have an issue or because they don't have the time and want privacy. They even have anger management course apps, so that's not an excuse any more. I mean, going to the iTunes store could be one step to getting on the right track.

indeed you are right, Jenny, unfortunately these blogs are only supposed to be 150 words long, but you are right there are many ways for people to deal with their issues. However, the root of the issue is always within and it is there rehabilitation must begin (this is the author of the blog by the way)
