Toxic People!

Who are toxic people?

They are extremely negative, nasty, miserable, whiney, jealous, inconsiderate, selfish and abusive individuals. They can be criminally minded, mentally ill or just plain evil. They might be relatives, friends, co-workers, husbands, wives or even children.

They are also the people who abuse drugs or alcohol and continually hurt other people.

They reside in relationships where they can be abusive to their mates and families. Or they can be “friends” who just continually take advantage and abuse you! By the way, these people are NOT your friends.

Further, they can be the source of their own anger or if they attack you the source of your anger.

Toxic people know no boundaries. They are hurtful and will just drag all the energy out of your life. They will continue this behavior until YOU build the courage to get them out of your life. Once you do they will just move on to their next victim having no more concern for you.

If you’re in an abusive relationship (whether from your husband or wife, or a boyfriend or girlfriend) you must realize that your “love” of this person which is keeping you together is not true love; toxic people need the other person to “love” them so they can continue their hostile, controlling, abusive, intimidating and manipulative behavior.

In our Anger Management program, we teach the skills necessary to gain control of your anger, how to strengthen your stress management skills, how to enhance your emotional intelligence and how to improve your communications ability. We do this in group or private sessions in our offices every day.

Can you get Angry at an Illness?

An individual can absolutely become angry over an extended illness especially if there is difficulty treating it or finding the right physician.

All illnesses are stresses upon us. Stresses that are unresolved can and often do lead to frustration which if unresolved can lead to the angry response.

Anger is the response many people exhibit when they sense they’re being attacked. That attack can come verbally or physically from another person or from any stressful or emotional situation.

Stress Management is a component of our Anger Management program. The best way to tackle stress is by getting regular like walking, non-competitive exercise such as walking, swimming or cycling. Exercise releases endorphins in our bodies which makes us feel good. The effect of the endorphins lasts long after the exercise is over.

So, if you are able, get some exercise with your physician's approval of course.

Self Esteem and Anger

Self Esteem is the worth or value we apply to ourselves. It’s important that we place value upon ourselves so we feel worthy. Self esteem can fluctuate on a daily basis. This is normal. However, people with low self esteem depend on the present to determine how they feel about themselves.

People with low self esteem are typically unassertive in their interpersonal communications. Lack of assertive skills may tend to cause the individual with low self esteem to hold in their anger. This may lead to an eruption of anger which is often very problematic in their relationships.

Our Anger Management program includes the necessary tools to be more assertive in relationships. This is one of the behavioral characteristics we measure at the beginning of the course and again at the end so we can measure the student’s improvement.

A recent study of the scores of students who have completed the course showed an average improvement in interpersonal assertiveness over 75%. This may vary from student to student but usually there is significant improvement. An increase in assertiveness will usually go hand in hand with an elevation of self esteem.

Additional Coaching/Anger Management Uses

Anger Management models that are based on Emotional Intelligence are expanding to a wider range of new client populations.

Below is a partial list of client groups for which Coaching/Anger Management are being effectively used:

1) Coaching for Disruptive Physicians.
2) Civility Coaching for Attorneys.
3) Anger Management Coaching for Law Enforcement personnel.
4) Emotional Intelligence/Anger Management for Couples.
5) Emotional Intelligence/Anger Management for parents.
6) Organizational Anger Management Training.

It appears that Emotional Intelligence has a wide range of uses and carries far less stigma than counseling,psychotherapy or psychiatric treatment. In addition,these intervention all provide Pre and Post Tests designed to determine the outcome for each participant. [from Anderson & Anderson blog with permission]

AGGRESSION

Aggression is an act of hostility that is directed at an external object or person. It is a forceful behavior, action, or attitude that is expressed physically or verbally. It may arise from innate drives or occur as a defense mechanism, often resulting from a threatened ego.

It can be manifested by either constructive or destructive acts directed toward oneself or against others.

Constructive aggression is an act of self-assertiveness in response to a threatening action for purposes of self-protection and preservation.

Destructive aggression is an act of hostility unnecessary for self-protection or self-preservation that is directed at an external object or person.

Anger is the response that people exhibit when they sense they are being attacked. In other words someone is aggressed upon. This aggression is the constructive type which helps to protect us and which is designed to save our life.

Anger is a secondary emotion which is in response to a primary emotion, very often fear.

If we sense we’re being attacked, verbally or physically, we often respond aggressively back at the attacker by becoming angry. Remember, this is a protective response designed to keep us alive.

Our Anger Management program is a skill enhancement program, the Anderson & Anderson model, which helps us gain control of our selves by incorporating the tools to change our behavior, to improve our Stress Management skills, to understand and use Emotional Intelligence in our relationships and to improve our interpersonal Communications.

How Effective is This Anger Management Program?

How Effective Is This Anger Management Program?

This study was undertaken from my private anger management practice utilizing the before and after averages using the Conover Assessment Examination which measures the following parameters:

1) Interpersonal Assertion: How good or comfortable the individual feels about telling others about their thoughts, feelings and behaviors in dealing with others:

Average pre-training score: 3.03;
Average post-training score: 5.30 (74.91% increase)

2) Empathy: How the individual views their current skill and ability to sense, understand and accept another person’s thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

Average pre-training score: 4.38
Average post-training score: 5.35 (22.14 % increase)

3) Stress Management: Shows the individual’s skill in managing stress and worry.

Average pre-training score: 3.97
Average post-training score: 5.05 (27.20% increase)

4) Aggression: The amount to which an individual uses a communications style that violates or offends or takes away another’s rights, thoughts or feelings.

Average pre-training score: 2.82
Average post-training score: 0.62 (78.01% decrease)

5) Interpersonal Deference: A measurement of the degree to which an individual uses a personal communication style that tends to yield or give in to someone else, lets others have their way or gives their rights to others.

Average pre-training score: 2.61
Average post-training score: 1.71 (34.48% decrease)


6) No measurement of an individual's motivation was included in this study. It is recognized however that the greater the motivation the more likely the individual will be successful in achieving success.

Conclusion: From these findings it would appear that this Anger Management Program is very effective in increasing assertive skills, empathy, stress management and decreasing aggression and deference. These results are in no way a guarantee that any specific individual will respond the same way; however, they are a good indication that, on average, most individuals with anger issues will have a positive outcome from taking an anger management program taught by a Certified Anger Management Provider using the Anderson & Anderson model.
