Main Approaches of
Anger Management
 Assertive Management (Expressing)
 Suppressing
13
Assertive Management
 Healthiest way to
express anger
 Learning how to make
clear what your needs
are, and how to get
them met, without hurting others
 Being assertive doesn’t mean being pushy or
demanding; it means being respectful of yourself
and others
14
People who are constantly putting others down,
criticizing everything, and making cynical comments
 haven’t learned how to constructively express
their anger
 they aren’t likely to have many successful
relationships
15
Suppressing Management
 Anger can be suppressed, and then converted or
redirected
 This happens when you hold in your anger,
stop thinking about it, and focus on something
positive
 The aim is to inhibit or suppress your anger and
convert it into more constructive behavior
16
Suppressing Management
The danger in this type of response is that
 if it isn’t allowed outward expression, your anger can
turn inward—on yourself
Anger turned inward may cause
 hypertension
 high blood pressure
 depression.
17
Calming Management
 Finally, you can calm down inside
 Not just controlling your outward behavior,
but also controlling your internal responses
 taking steps to lower your heart rate
 calm yourself down
 let the feelings subside

Symptoms of Anger
If you find yourself acting in ways that seem
 out of control
 frightening
21
Why are some people more
angry than others?
 One cause may be genetic or physiological
 Another may be socio-cultural
 Research has also found that family background
plays a role. Typically, people who are easily angered
come from families that are disruptive, chaotic, and
not skilled at emotional communications
22
23
Strategies of Anger Management
 Changing the way you think
 Try replacing anger thoughts with more rational ones
 Remind yourself that getting angry is not going to fix
anything
 Logic defeats anger
24
Strategies of Anger Management
 Changing your
environment
 Give yourself a break
 Make sure you have
some “personal time”
25
Strategies of Anger Management
 Better communication
 Don’t jump to conclusions
 Slow down
 Don’t say the first thing that comes into your
head
 Listen carefully
26
27
28
Strategies of Anger Management
 Problem solving
 Make a plan, and check your progress along
the way
 Timing: try changing the times when you talk
about important matters
 Avoidance
 Finding alternatives
29
Strategies of Anger Management
 Counseling to learn how to handle it better
 With counseling, psychologists say, a highly
angry person can move closer to a middle
range of anger in about 8 to 10 weeks,
depending on the circumstances and the
techniques used
30
31
Conclusion
 Life will be filled with frustration, pain, loss, and the
unpredictable actions of others
 You can’t change that; but you can change the way
you let such events affect you
 Controlling your angry responses can keep them
from making you even more unhappy in the long run
