Can you feel me?

Without anger, it is hard to reclaim our own voice of which we were robbed in the interest of consensus reality-Patrick Carnes Ph.D

Growing up many of us were taught not to feel. Our feelings, although genuine and accurate were too much for our families to handle. Our feelings exposed the abnormality in those around us, so we were told to stuff them or lead to beleive that our feelings were not accurate.

Feelings of rage and anger are natural and healthy. They act as barometers, measuring the temprature of the world around us.

If our barometers are broken we may have the tendency to over react or sometimes minimize. Emotional Intelligence is the ability to identify and express your own feelings and recognize the feelings in others.

An anger management class should not focus on eliminating anger but help you respond with the correct levels of anger at the right time and with the right person.
