Managing anger in a frustrating economy

Fear, anxiety, mistrust fill the hearts of many Americans these days as their hopes and dreams seem to disappear into the recesses of America’s struggling financial systems. These fears are quickly manifesting into anger all across the United States.

California based IndyMac Bank was a recently absorbed by the federal government after the Office of Thrift Supervision determined the bank could not meet depositor demand. The FDIC has informed distraught customers that their savings are insured up to $100,000, but that is little consolation for those who have buried their life savings of more than that amount into the failed bank.

Police were summoned to one San Fernando Valley branch after tempers flared because of perceived line cutting. The police used de-escalation techniques in an effort to manage crowd anger without arrests.

Defaulting banks, housing for-closures and job loss has made anger management particularity difficult from many American. Daybreak Counseling Service has seen an increase in referrals from individuals and families stressed over finances and fear of loss.
