Do You Have An Anger-Management Issue?

A question was asked in an article from the May 2011 issue of Good Housekeeping magazine. Could you be past "hot-tempered" and into the realm of needing professional help?  Jerry Deffenbacher, Ph.D., shares warning signs:

1. You lose your temper several times a week, even daily

2. Your anger is causing problems in your relationship with your spouse or your kids

3. When anger, you engage in dysfunctional behavior such as drinking too much

If this sounds all too familiar, ask your doctor or religious leader for a reference to a counselor, or consult these anger-management resources:

*The Anger Management Source-book, by Glenn R. Schiraldi, Ph.D., and Melissa Hallmark Kerr

*The National Anger Management Association (namass.org), a website that provides a state-by-state directory of trained therapists. 

Remember your children are always watching you and you don't want them growing up having anger-management issues. So, be honest with yourself and get some help if you answered yes to any of the three questions above.
