Anger Management – Is It A Coping Strategy Or A Cure?

You should control anger before it controls you… it is mostly a coping strategy (to use your words). It helps reduce both emotional feelings and physiological arousal. Since you need to correct your emotional reactions to specific situations, it is a long process which involves cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

ANGER is irrational in the first place. I presume that anger management begins with realising that you have become irrational and need to ditch that.
It is a good thing.
I like the idea of refusing to be made angry by anyone. I have had many racist things said to me but I usually just turm them round and carry on. No need to be angry because the people who say these are not intellectual enough to appreciate their own views.

I looked up some anger management help online cause I started to see my temper affecting areas of my life that I didn’t want to and my gf was getting a little scared of me which I hated. I would never hurt her but obviously I could see that my anger made me seem unpredictable.
I found this website: http://www.how-to-control-your-anger.com and it honestly changed my life forever. It had a 7 part free guide to turning your life around.
Anger managementt is a cure! It’s mislabelleded because once you’ve had some help with it, you realise you don’t need to manage it anymore, you just don’t get angry!

I’ve taken anger management classes twice. It is really a coping strategy that works for some and not for others. It hasn’t helped me so I don’t plan on going back but I’ve seen other people do great with the classes.

I believe that it is a coping strategy in most cases.
People who have anger in them will not lose that anger unless circumstances or incidents in their life change drastically.

It would seem to be a coping strategy. If it were a cure it wouldn’t need to be repeated every time we feel angry; we just wouldn’t be angry.
