“If you build it they will come” The well known line in the movie Kevin Costner movie Field of Dreams speaks of the prophetic call to act on your dreams, but in business this edic is not always true. By now most private practioners such as counselors, anger management teachers and psychologists understand the necessity of having a website, but building a website does not garauntee clients.

For the past 3-4 years Daybreak Counseling Service has enjoyed a favorable first page ranking on the number one search engine in the world. Google.com enjoys 60% of the worlds search engine market. The other major players in the world of search are Yahoo.com and Bing.com (MSN search engine)

Daybreak Counseling Services is also listed within the top three search results on Bing when search for key words such as anger management class and anger management classes.

Several months ago Yahoo and Bing inked a deal in which Yahoo will use Bings search results. This will put Daybreak Counseling Service as one of the most visited anger management sites on the web. Yahoo’s changes are scheduled to occur within the next 4-6 weeks.

Triggers, pet peaves and offenses. What gets your goat? What makes you mad. If you are able to answer these questions you have discovered an initial clue to anger management.

When we take the time to find out what we don’t like we are getting a better pitcure of who we are as people. The things that make you mad are often the things you are passionate about.

If you hate being late most likely you are passionate about productivity or the time you spend with others.

If you can’t stand to look at someone being abused or mistreated by others you may be an advocate, a defender of what is just.

The trick is to look at what angers you and let it propel you to action. Healthy and assertive expression of anger is just what we need to get the job done.

Anger Management Expert Helps the Kardashians keep their cool

Kim Kardashian and Khole Kardashian have had their share of publicized mishaps and subsequent interventions but when physical aggression threatened to put a riff between Kardashian family members they turned to expert anger management specialist Shannon Munford.

Anger is progressive

If you have been watching Keeping up with the Kardashians on the E Network you know that the tension between Scott Disck, (Kourtney Kardashian’s boyfriend) and the Kardashian family has been building. Things erupted last week as Khole Karsdashian slapped Scott in the face.

Stress and Anger

It is obvious Khole has been under a little stress. A whirlwind romance with Lakers forward Lamar Odom culminated in a nationally- viewed televised wedding. She is now shopping for a multi-million dollar home on a mini-million dollar budget. She has to do all this while running a bi-costal clothing company (Dash) and posing for the paparazzi.

Anger and Alcohol

Everyone should have noticed Khole had a few drinks before her altercation with Scott. If you happen to be drunk during angry confrontation you may lack the ability to reason effectively. Such confrontations generally lead into acts of aggression.

Anger is not the problem

Anger is not the problem. It is what we do when we are angry that can have grave consequences. This something Kim and Khole learned while sitting in on an anger management class at Daybreak Counseling Service. We all have a right to be angry, but physical violence should be avoided at all costs.

Shannon Munford is the owner of Daybreak Counseling Service, an anger management education center in Los Angeles, California. His expertise has been invaluable to nationally televised shows such as MTV Real World Hollywood, Oxygen’s Bad Girls Club 3 and My Network TV’s Decision House. Shannon currently has a new series in the works with the production company Screen Door Entertainment.

Are you the “Office Grouch”? You know the person at work who never smiles or never has a good thing to say even when they’re being rewarded???? How would you know if you were? Well, here are a few ways that might help you assess yourself and your grouchy-ness!

1.
ou don’t say “Good Morning” (or evening or afternoon) when you enter the workplace, you wait for others to say it first.
2.
Instead of telling others they did a good job on a project (and they actually did), you normally respond with, “…it was okay, but I would have done it this way…”.
3.
When people are talking to you, you give them no eye contact and say, “I hear you”.
4.
You often say words like, “stupid”, “dumb”, “waste”, “ridiculous”, etc.
5.
The mood changes from all smiles and giggles when you enter the room to somberness and excuses to leave the room.

Okay, this is really poking fun but hopefully this isn’t you! But if it is, try to change at least one aspect of your attitude, you’ll begin to feel better once you do!

Having been a victim of both verbal and physical abuse, I can honestly report that for me the verbal was worse than the physical. The main reason for this is that the physical abuse heals in a short time; the verbal abuse can permanently damage or erode one’s very identity and self. Words are so much more powerful than most people realize and can ruin a day, a relationship or even a life.

Verbal abusers use “words” as their “weapon” and they are most often very good at demoralizing, hurting and even brutalizing without lifting a finger. Their motive is usually “control”. They want to “break you” and get you to live in their reality. Women in marriages with verbal abusers are often not actually held in contempt by their husbands. – rather they are the “victim” of the abusers discontent and rage.

Men who are consistently verbally abusive are often “narcissists”. This is a personality disorder that does not often respond to any kind of treatment or anger management courses. The narcissist cares only about himself and getting his every wish and need filled. He has no interest in how others feel and is indifferent to their welfare.

I stayed with my angry and abusive husband for 14 years not knowing what I was dealing with. I dressed nicer, lost weight, made nicer dinners, bought him gifts – placate, placate, placate! I believed that it was my fault that he acted the way he did. I was wrong – very wrong. I just happened to be his present punching bag to use when he couldn’t tolerate his own feelings, which is the game that abusers love to play.

Abusers evolve from years of anger, hate and resentment often formed in their families of origin. You cannot fix or cure them. I almost lost myself trying. The challenge to women is that these “narcissist” types are almost always extremely charming and seductive. They have a lot of practice in knowing just what to say and do to draw a woman in and manipulate her vulnerabilities to his benefit. Some women (like I was 30 years ago) get deluded by the charm and are oblivious to any danger or harm to themselves. If you meet a new man, get to really know him. Make sure you see where he “says” he lives. Ask to meet his friends. Be alert for signs of “controlling” words or behaviors. Meet some of his family members early on in the relationship.

Be aware. You cannot change this man You deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.
