Uses and Tips For Using Self-Talk To Manage Your Anger Helpcard

The focus of this card is people who would like to improve how they deal with anger, but do not require professional face-2- face help. People with ANY history of physical violence or extremely aggressive verbal abuse should see a professional.

The techniques on this card work when attention is paid to them every day. If you use it on your own, put aside five minutes each day to remind yourself of the content.

Trainers, group facilitators, consultants: Properly qualified mental health professionals may find the card useful as a takeaway or handout for either individual or group sessions on anger management.

However, if you are not fully qualified, please do not perform such work, and refer to a properly trained mental health professional.

Deep discounts for the purchase of multiple copies make this an ideal purchase for groups working on anger management.

How Much Does Your Anger Affect Your Life?

Frustration and anger go with our high stress, high anxiety, too fast world. If you would like to get better at managing your anger, read on.

Important: If your problems come out in either physical violence or verbal abuse, please do NOT purchase this card as a replacement for seeking professional help. Aggressive actions towards other people are NOT normal or healthy and can ruin your life and the lives of others.

If you don't know where to get help, try calling your local crisis line, since they have a list of community resources in your area.

Almost everyone in today's society experiences more anger and annoyance than is healthy for them, or those around them. It is possible to be less prone to anger, and to shorten period of anger by using self-talk strategies often taught in anger management classes.

If you work at it self-talk strategies can help you:

be less irritated at the small, previously annoying things in life (like standing in lines, rude people).
focus your energy on what you can control or affect, rather than fuming away at things you can do nothing about.
shorten the periods of time you are angry.
Identify your anger triggers, and stop your reactions.
take annoying behavior less personally

The outcome is to have less anger, less often, unless anger can be a useful, constructive response.
