What is your point of no return? When dealing with our anger it is very important to know and recognize our boiling point or point of no return because what we are attempting to do while in anger management therapy is to restrain ourselves from getting to that exact point. This is why it is always best to analyze our anger in terms of a thermometer and to understand the ranges of emotions that can make up the feelings associated with anger. In viewing the range of emotions on the thermometer you will increase your vocabulary of words to help describe how you are feeling at different intervals. The anger thermometer is a tool to be used to help you become more aware of the appropriate communication of annoyance, anger and rage according to Casanova and Tafrate’s Anger Thermometer. The objective of this tool is to help articulate your feeling state directly to another person with a single word that communicates the exact intensity of how you are feeling. So the next time you find yourself in an anger episode consider the problem you are facing and look at the words listed below. Then, finish the following sentence.

“When I consider what we are talking about, I feel____________”

100-Rabid, crazed, maniacal, wild, violent, demented
90-Frenzied, vicious, unhinged, untuned, up in arms
80-Incensed, infuriated/furious, engaged, hysterical
70-Irate, inflamed, exasperated, fuming, burned-up
60-Fired-up, riled-up, all worked up, peeved, indignant, nuts
50-Mad, angry, agitated, pissed off, irked, aggravated
40-Provoked, impelled, cranky, crotchety, distressed, disturbed
30-Annoyed, bothered, irritated, perturbed, flustered, uneasy
20-Jogged, moved, stirred, ruffled, challenged
10-Aroused, actuated, alert, awakened, kindled
0-Sleepy, dead, drunk, comatose

Anger is an emotion that can have affects on your health, both physical and mental. Anger can be a negative emotion, similar to anxiety and stress and it causes some people to focus too much on the wrong that has been done to them. Some people are able to overcome these negative thought processes relatively easy, but there are a number of others who struggle with their feelings of anger on an ongoing basis.

There are many reasons why people decide to attend anger management classes. Typically, people who are prime candidates for this treatment are those who struggle controlling their anger, erupt quickly in anger, become verbally abusive, commit acts of violence, and are unable to deal appropriately with their friends and loved one.

The goal of anger management therapy isn’t to do away with the anger emotion, but rather teach skills for dealing with it in an appropriate manner. When you experience a rise in your temper, this means there is an actual problem facing you that you need to deal with. With anger management, you will learn how to calm yourself and pull away from the situation.

Frequently, anger is a response to other painful feelings. That’s why it’s essential that you learn what the root cause is of your anger so that you can deal with the real issue, not just the superficial response to it. This will lead to a permanent solution. Once you know what triggers your angry response, you can learn to avoid these situations as much as possible, and also have some strategies in order to deal with them more effectively.

Attending anger management courses might be a good choice for a lot of people. Most participants share their stories and problems, and the negative consequences they have faced because of their poor anger management skills. People often find they are not alone and can find support in these classes.

You will get the support you need from anger management classes. In a group session, you are sure to find out from others the strategies that have worked for them successfully. It’s important to treat and deal with anger problems, otherwise you will become stressed and possibly depressed, which will lead to a whole new level of psychological and physical difficulties.
