Answers:
Enrolling in anger management classes is no disgrace. In fact, it may be the best thing you could do for yourself. Consider some of the benefits of anger management classes. Advantages of Anger Management Classes There are many good reasons to sign up for anger management classes in your area. Find out if any are currently offered and contact the organization for details. If none are available, contact a local social service agency or support group location, like a hospital or church, to suggest that anger management classes be offered. Here are some of the most obvious and useful types of support you may be able to receive: 1. Anger management activities. A competent therapist will teach you a variety of strategies for incorporating anger management into your lifestyle. Rather than letting irritations build into irrational rages, you can learn to practice several types of anger management control that will help you ward off overpowering emotions that threaten to destroy your well being by taking specific steps before your anger grows to dangerous heights. 2. Anger management groups. Your therapist, counselor, instructor, or group leader may organize participants in the anger management classes into small groups. In this arrangement, you can exchange information about the sources of your anger, your particular triggers, and your strategies to date for coping with this overwhelming emotion and the fallout from anger overuse. Learning to interact with others who are struggling with this emotionally debilitating condition, you will come to recognize and appreciate common routes to anger management that are used by many people. 3. Anger management training. Upon enrolling in anger management classes, you will begin to learn more about both the good and the bad emotional uses for anger. You will begin to identify triggers for your emotions, and learn how to redirect inappropriate anger toward suitable targets. Anger management strategies, along with anger management exercises, will be explained so that you can begin using these in your daily schedule. As you begin to benefit from the results of this training, you will probably wish your anger management classes would last longer. 4. Anger management treatment. A trained facilitator who has completed a certain number of volunteer hours involving educational preparation may conduct anger management classes. Or a licensed social worker, therapist, psychologist, or counselor may coordinate your anger management classes. You may want to check the credentials of your class leader to be sure that he or she has the experience and the qualifications to steer you in the right direction. While anger management classes can provide plenty of help in addressing this important part of your personality and character, you may find it helpful to look at additional sources of information, including websites like anger-management-information.c. which offers assistance in several related areas.

Experience.

yes, they do work but, you as a person have to let them work..also, find what stress' you out then eliminate it..

It's like a lot of other things. They can give you helpful suggestions, advice, and teach you certain mechanisms, but in the end you are the one who has to manage your own anger.

they suck. try boxing so you can punch on bags .. or some karate type ****

i hope you would go to a football field once in a while and scream your lungs out and then run a few rounds .. drink lots of water and drive off to the seaside and scream at the sea. then.take a few deep breaths and drive home. do it always and the anger will eventually be managed. i did it..it works .
