Ryan Seacrest Productions and Sam Mettler, the creator of
“INTERVENTION” are teaming up and producing a new documentary series for A & E. We are very excited to help as many people as we can that suffer from serious emotional conditions.

For our first episode we are currently looking to do a story on anger management. We want to break the stereotypes and are seeking a woman to tell her story. Women are not usually portrayed dealing with Anger issues. And there is a stigma attached. But we believe their stories are important. If you know of anyone that would be right for this, we want to help. We want to explore how their current condition is affecting their lives, emotionally, physically, mentally, financially and in their relationships- both family and social. We value our reputation and have worked with severe emotional trauma in the past. We have no intention exploiting or creating drama. We take any condition very seriously. They will also be working with renowned author and hypnotherapist, Paul McKenna. He will explore when the anger started, how it is affecting their day-to-day lives and if they feel a sense of lost potential. Paul wants to get them to realize that potential once again! We are looking for loved ones or close friends that would participate as well. These conditions don’t occur in a bubble. We do compensate and a fee will be considered for their time. Thank you for passing this on to anyone you know or any volunteers in the program. PLEASE- would it be ok to post anything up in your classes or places of of high visibility to attract people who would be interested in participating? I can be reached at 818 983 – 6196 And my website is www.helpmecasting.com

Many years ago I was the facilitator for a group on Codependence.
By definition members of the group were uncomfortable about expressing their true feelings. Because codependents often put other people’s feelings above their own, they don’t speak up for themselves. The reasons for this are many, including fear of confrontation, low self -esteem, or wanting to always appear “nice” (even to their own detriment).

During one group the members were asked to talk about “anger.” Did they know what it was, know how to deal with it, and what the consequences are of not dealing with it? There was a lively discussion during which members learned that if we don’t recognize and express our anger, it does not just go away. It stays inside us and can create serious emotional and physical problems as well as the buildup of “resentments”. Our system becomes toxic, but we are usually unaware of it.

One of the group members gave a very good example of the results of holding anger in. She was a very sweet woman who said she didn’t identify with “anger”. She was the wife of a man who had been an alcoholic for 30 years and said that she just “learned to accept it” (not a true or honest statement). She had built up a rage of which she was unaware. She was, however, very depressed and addled with extremely low self-esteem.

One week she came to group and told the members that while she rarely gets angry, she found out that her 20-year-old was using heroin. She became so enraged that she beat him with a tire iron.

This is a stunning example of what years of not acknowledging or expressing anger can do. In fact, she had been angry for years and years but had chosen not to deal with it. She, herself, was astonished at what she did to her son. Fortunately she was willing to seek counseling to finally deal with her lifetime denial of her anger and what harm it had caused her.

This is a cautionary tale. Hopefully others will make an effort to recognize their true feelings of anger before they experience such explosive
consequences. Anger management classes offers skills and techniques that encourage the healthy expression of anger.

Even though “anger” is just one of many feelings, more often than not you may feel bad about yourself when you get angry. The fact is that you can choose our thoughts and actions, but your “feelings” come upon us without our bidding. So feeling bad or guilty about being angry is unnecessary. When you feel violated in any way, your psyche causes the feeling of anger.

On the other hand acting against your own values is an appropriate reason to feel guilty. It is not your feelings that trip you up, but rather the “behavior” that results from your feelings. So how do we behave when we get angry?

It’s not all your fault

From childhood to adulthood you have developed specific thoughts and beliefs. What you think determines how you feel and how you act. The thoughts and beliefs you carry are often those of your parents, teachers, the media, your school, etc. but are very often not our own.

You can change

Since your thoughts and beliefs create your feelings and life perspective, you need to take inventory at some point. You are no longer a child. You can change your “self-talk” and to examine your “old ideas.” Does what you think still work for you or are they causing unmanageability in your life?

This is an important element in managing anger and learning how to better process it while in a classroom setting with others with similar challenges.

For many, attendance in an anger management class is a “wake up call” – an opportunity to take stock of themselves and let go of what isn’t working in their favor – they begin learning how to change for the better. They find out who they really are and choose their own beliefs and thoughts.

Anger management students are given specific new “tools” with which they can more successfully manage their feelings of anger in a way that doesn’t hurt themselves or others. It is a profound and exciting process.

Is it true that uncontrolled anger can lead to weight gain? Studies have taken place on this issue, from such highly regarded sources as the American Heart Association. Though initial studies have focused on teenagers, all ages are at risk for excessive weight gain directly resulting from uncontrolled anger.

Why does this happen? Usually because the person is experiencing high distress and is choosing to suppress natural feelings of anger rather than confront them. Someone that suppresses his or her feelings, or has explosive bouts of unrestrained anger, is actually at a higher risk for weight gain than emotionally healthy individuals.

Problems with anger can convert into various eating disorders and increased weight. Increased weight can lead to a high risk of cardiovascular disease. The University of Texas sponsored an investigation on the issue, which eventually indicated that there was a strong association between body mass index and internalized anger, particularly in teenagers.

The problem is that people who suffer from anger issues usually have no idea how to approach this problem. They resort to unhealthy coping mechanisms-such as rage or overeating-without ever confronting the problem itself. Some younger people may retreat to television or video games instead of focusing on a productive solution. Older individuals may have a similar “vice” that they seek out rather than acknowledge their feelings of anger and expressing themselves in healthy ways.

In situations like this, it’s not merely a matter of regular diet and exercise. It’s about getting to the root of a person’s problem and helping them back on the road to emotional health. If you are experiencing problems with anger and are suffering from related weight gain symptoms or other physical symptoms, then get help. Why battle this dilemma alone when you can have others working with you and rooting you on?

Since “stress” is a compelling trigger for anger, it is important for you to be able to identify your own personal “stressors”. Then – find an activity or enterprise that can lower your stress level. Anger Management classes offer excellent information and tools to discover what stresses you out and what you can do about it.

A man of Iranian decent was was arraigned in a Santa Ana court on Thursday. He is accused of attacking two Latino men. He is being prosecuted for a hate crime. The California Penal code suggests some perpetrators of hate crimes be ordered to enroll in anger management classes or racial tolerance classes.

The 31 year old Irvine man is faced with two felony and two misdemeanor charges. He is accused of getting out of his car at a traffic light and swinging a metal chain a car of the two Latino men. The altercation may have been spurred because he was involved a separate disagreement with another Latino man in a movie theater.

We are the change that we seek -Barack Obama

Many people join an anger management class with a secret hidden agenda. So secret they may not be aware of it themselves. They are looking for a formula, a potion, a spell that will change those people in their lives. What people you may ask? Those people they can not control, those people that just won’t comply no matter how loud we yell, no matter how hard we kick or how long we pout.

The fact of the matter is you are the change you seek. You can not control other people. You can not control them through intimidation, through coercion or through manipulation. If you are honest with yourself you know its hard enough contolling yourself.

When meeting with Kim Kardashian and Khole Kardashian on the Reality Television show Keeping up with the Kardashians I noticed Khole was stuck on changing her “brother in law” Scott Disick. Khloe finally got it when I explained to her she would never be able to controll Scott but she does have the power to control how she reacts to him. Guess what you have that same power. You do not have to respond to every uncomfortable stimuli brought on by you job, family or significant other. You are not a puppet. You have the power to change how you react to negative people and negative situations. You also have the power to avoid some people and some situations all together. You are the change you seek.
