Analysing Anger

Triggers

 

What makes you angry?

 

Anger is often triggered by one of the following:

A situation	A person	A thing

Keeping a record of what makes you angry will show whether it is always the same things that make you angry or whether it is a range of different things.

 

A Situation

If you tend to get angered by situations more than people or things, is it the same situation each time or different situations? Are there any common factors in the situations that make you angry?

If so, take steps to avoid being in that situation. 

If it is a situation that is impossible to avoid then be aware that it is a situation that has the potential to make you angry. 

Try to stay calm, keep your voice quiet, breathe slowly, count to 10, think before you act and ask yourself 'is anger really justified?'

 

A Person

If you tend to get angered by people more that situations or things, is it the same person or people each time or just people in general? 

If it is the same person or people that make you angry try to avoid them.

If the people that make you angry cannot be avoided then be aware that they are people who are likely to make you angry.

Try to stay calm, keep your voice quiet, breathe slowly, count to 10, think before you act and ask yourself 'is anger really justified?'

 

A Thing

If you tend to get angered by things more than situations or people, is it the same thing each time? 

Machines that don't work properly are a common cause of anger and they are often things that we want to use rather than avoid.

If you cannot avoid being in contact with the things that make you angry then be aware that they are things that often make you angry.

Try to stay calm, keep your voice quiet, breathe slowly, count to 10, think before you act and ask yourself 'is anger really justified?'
