Comments on How Do You Help Someone Who Have Anger Management Problems And A Short Temper ?
Anger management classes can help some. Usually anger is the outcome of another problem. He may need to seek help from a professional and get some meds. Something to calm him down enought to think things through instead of outbursts that he can regret later.
you can help them face their often-irrational behavior by attempting to help them see themselves as others see them. In rare occasions, mimicking their actions may help them see how they look and how unattractive their actions are, and they will attempt to make changes on their own, but not likely.
There are many different reason why people lose their temper, such as stress, being tired and irritable and, like your friend, being used to getting their own way and acting like a spoiled brat when someone stands up to them. In this case, a subtle approach to the problem friend is usually recommended, as accusatory statements will usually only breed more anger. Perhaps addressing the problem in third-person form before relating to them that they act the same way on occasion will help them receive the message as a positive and not a negative.
When dealing with a friend who has anger management problems, you should use caution in how you word things such as never using the phrase you always, or you never as this negative approach will most likely put them immediately on the defensive, sparking an angry outburst. You will not have to be an expert on anger management, but having a little knowledge of what causes it and different ways for self-treatment that you can offer will be a big help. You will also have to be a good friend and patient and willing to accept the person may take your interference as a personal attack.
You can present the facts in a positive manner by beginning a conversation by explaining how sometimes their response to certain situations may tend to make others feel uncomfortable and ask if they are aware of it. Hopefully they may respond that they had no idea that other were put off by their actions or words and be willing to calmly discuss your concerns. Whatever you do, do not let yourself be drawn into an argument with them which will only tend to exacerbate the situation and do nothing to resolve the situation.
If anything, break off the talk with positive talk and plan to approach it at a later date. Another good rule is not to approach the situation with a group of friends as they may interpret your intentions as ganging up on them and turn defensive and even aggressive. The setting for your approach should also be neutral as being on their own turf, so to speak, will give them the feeling of power and on your turf, may make them feel vulnerable which could incite additional aggression.
To get another person to change, no matter how much you want to, is one of the most difficult things.
You can encourage counseling, get him some good books.
But he has to see the need to change and want it almost more than anything else. Change like that is difficult even with the best circumstances.
But be warned, the probability is he will not change. Be very careful considering marriage with this person, with marriage the anger and temper outburst most often get worse.
What is the basic reason for this anger? You probably will not manage to find out, because it means that he must reveal some very deep feelings. It is easy for him to give a less deep reason but not very exact. However, a psychologist giving psycho-theropy can probably get to the root of it, although it takes a long time. Once the cause is known it is possible to effect a permanent cure, not the external social pressure kind of the anger class group.
it works really well if you like to write and draw , start a angry journal , every time you fell really mad go write in your journal , it could be about your anger or just Random things you like to write about . when you write about random things by the time your done your not that mad anymore , if you write about what your mad about your writing it instead of saying it so it doesn’t make you or your friend any mader you could also Just draw
If drugs or alcohol are involved, please gently ask your significant other to stop before a cycle of violence begins. Yes, be honest and gentle and loving, if you still care at this point. There could also be mental disorders involved but with therapy and/or medication, you and your friend could live a relatively normal life. Verbal abuse can be a precursor to physical abuse. If you fear for your safety, get out.
Its always good to be honest in a situation like this. Tell the angry person that their behavior upsets you. Also don’t be angry back This will just make things worse. I hope this helps.
Cheers
