Anger Management vs. Conflict Resolution

Even the Internet needs help in learning the differences between Anger Management and Conflict Resolution. Anger and Anger Management is related to useless anger. This anger can be directed towards persons or property. It does not require a dispute between one or more persons.

In contrast, Conflict Resolution relates to disputes between one or more persons. The Resolution of the conflict requires that all participate in resolving the dispute. The dispute may or may not involve anger.

Conflict Resolution is generally provided by trained Mediators who are often Attorneys who specialize in Mediation or Conflict Resolution. Most cities have free Mediation Services offered through its City Attorney or District Attorney’s Office.

Anger Management is much newer than Conflict Resolution. It is a class or individual coaching designed to teach skill enhancement in anger management, stress management, assertive communication and emotional intelligence or empathy.

What is Assertiveness?

Assertiveness is a way of thinking and behaving that allows a person to stand up for his or her rights while respecting the rights of others.

Non-assertive people may be passive or aggressive.

Passive individuals are not committed to their own rights and are more likely to allow others to infringe on their rights than to stand up and speak out.

On the other hand, aggressive persons are very likely to defend their own rights and work to achieve their own goals but are also likely to disregard the rights of others.

Additionally, aggressive individuals insist that their feelings and needs take precedence over other people’s. They also tend to blame others for problems instead of offering solutions.

Assertive attitudes and behaviors are at the heart of effective advocacy. A person with an assertive attitude recognizes that each individual has rights. These rights include not only legal rights but also rights to individuality, to have and express personal preferences, feelings and opinions. The assertive individual not only believes in his or her rights but is committed to preserving those rights. An assertive attitude is important in recognizing that rights are being violated.

The passive person is so concerned with being liked and accepted that he or she may never recognize the need to advocate. The assertive person clearly expresses his or her rights or needs. They tend to face problems promptly and they focus on solutions rather than problems.

The following will enhance your assertiveness skills. Assertive listening is one of the most important advocacy skills we will discuss. The goals of assertive listening are:
(1) letting the other person know that you want to understand his or her point of view;
(2) understanding accurately what another person is saying;
(3) letting the other person know that he or she has been understood. Remember that understanding is different from agreement. You can understand what another is saying but still disagree with him or her.

When Should You Consider Anger Management?

Anger Management is a program to increase Emotional Intelligence and the skills in Self-Awareness, Self-Control, Social Awareness and Relationship Management. Any time is the right time for skill enhancement in these areas.

Generally, most self-referrals to Anger Management Programs are persons who are having recurrent anger issues with people whom they are closely related.

However, if you're experiencing the angry reaction frequently, you are in need of a program which will improve your skills in emotional intelligence.

Anger is a normal human emotion which is exerienced by everyone from time to time. Here are five specific signals that will tell you when your anger is creating problems for you:

1) When it is too frequent.There are many situations for which becoming angry is justified and natural. But, we often get angry when it is not necessary or useful. It is important to distinguish between the times when it is alright to be angry and when getting angry isn’t a wise idea.

2) When it is too intense. Anger is something that occurs at different levels of intensity. A small or moderate amount of anger can often work to your advantage. High degrees of anger rarely produce positive results and may damage your own physical health.

3) When it lasts too long. When anger continues over time, you maintain a level of arousal or stress that goes beyond normal limits. When anger does not go away, your body’s systems are prevented from returning to normal levels, which makes it easier to get angry the next time something goes wrong. Sometimes, it becomes impossible to resolve.

4) When it leads to aggression. Aggressive acts are likely to result in trouble for you. When you feel you have been abused or treated unfairly, you may want to hurt the person who has offended you. Verbal aggression, like calling someone a name, is not helpful and often leads to a cycle of increasing aggression.

5).When it destroys work or personal relationships. When your anger interferes with doing a good job or makes it hard for people to relate to you, then it becomes a problem.

Anger Management is, by far, the most appropriate method for developing, strengthening and enhancing skills to manage anger.

If You Love Your Mate, Why Are You Always Angry?

Why are you always angry with your spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend?

Anger is the response that occurs when we sense we’re being attacked. It is a normal emotion designed to protect us and keep us alive. The attacks we perceive such as controlling, manipulating or intimidating behaviors, among others, are the attacks we sense.

Our response to these attacks is anger.

In fact, stress that’s unresolved can usually lead to frustration and when the right buttons are pressed, bingo! We experience anger.

Our program is designed to teach you the mental tools required to gain control of your anger and to manage your stress as well as to give your emotional intelligence a boost and improve your communications.

This is NOT psychotherapy with the stigma that carries. Rather it is a skill enhancement program which helps to reduce interpersonal aggression, improve assertive skills, and increase empathy.

Isn’t it time to get your anger under control?
