Hi,<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\n

How’s it going?<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

I hope you are doing well.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

What a long day yesterday. That 10 mile hike was really tiring.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

I will be posting some pictures really soon.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Anyway, I wanted to talk about anger and bipolar disorder today.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

I know that anger is a huge problem for people dealing with bipolar disorder. <\/span>How do I know? <\/span>Not just because I’m a supporter myself or because my mom has it, but because I get TONS of emails on just this subject.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

You wouldn’t believe how many people are dealing with anger these days \u2013 whether they have bipolar disorder or not. (Well, yes you would, because you’re probably one of them.)<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

That’s why, in my courses\/systems, I have whole sections devoted just to anger management:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, Robert Allan PhD, clinical assistant professor of psychiatry at the New York-Presbyterian Hospital, wrote a whole book on anger, called Getting Control of Your Anger.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

In Dr. Allan’s book, he talks about a 3-step process for taming rage:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

1. <\/span><\/span>Identify the hook (trigger) that feeds your anger.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Just by knowing that there is a trigger that sets your anger off can be liberating in itself. <\/span>It’s the first step toward changing your reaction to your anger and not allowing yourself to directly express that anger by yelling or getting physical.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

2. <\/span><\/span>Step back or remove yourself from the situation causing your anger.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

By doing this, you can figure out WHY you need the anger. <\/span>Then you can try some relaxation or deep- breathing exercises to try to get back some of your self-control. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

He also <\/span>suggests developing an OBSERVING <\/span>self, a mini-version of yourself who you visualize sitting on your shoulder viewing the big picture and warning you not to take the anger bait (hook or trigger). <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Allan says that when we get angry, the feeling is usually fueled by the need for respect or the need not to have our territory breached, or both. <\/span>(What about you? <\/span>Do you agree with that?)<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

3. <\/span><\/span>Fill the need without expressing anger directly. Instead, ASK for what you need.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, that last point would take a whole email in itself to talk about!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

What about some of YOUR ideas? <\/span>How do YOU think you fulfill that third point? <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

How do YOU handle YOUR anger?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n
