Controlling anger before it controls you
Anger is a natural human reaction. It is powerful. If not channelled correctly it is dangerous. It has massive social implications on your family, your friends, your career and ultimately YOU!
Anger itself is not the problem – but expressing it appropriately is. Here at WAAM we will help you to discover what triggers your anger in the first place and come up with effective strategies that can assist you in managing it in a clean and healthy way.
By attending one of our programmes you will learn about your individual anger type and style, triggers and sources, shadows and projections, the six rules of anger management, and much more.
ARE YOU AN IMPLODER OR AN EXPLODER?
Inappropriate anger often manifests itself in one of two ways, either by imploding or exploding.
EXPLODERS move from anger to rage very quickly. They often become irrational and cause harm to themselves and those around them. Their anger is in the rage of the moment and they don’t know how to look at the big picture. Rage is anger out of control.
IMPLODERS hold their anger in. They bottle it for long periods of time because of fear, insecurity and/or low self esteem. Initially, it appears to cause little harm to them. Imploders however cannot hold the anger in forever. They must let it out. The longer it is held in the more damage it does to the person retaining it. It takes its toll physically!
An imploder will eventually become an exploder. It is only a matter of time. As irrational as the exploder may seem, the imploder appears more so. Imploders stack dominoes called emotion and pain. When dominoes are knocked over, they fall onto the next in line and cause a chain reaction. All it takes to knock over the first domino is one insignificant event at the wrong time!
The best way to handle anger is to neither implode or to explode.
