subject: Anger Management Intervention Now is the Time [print this page] Anger Management Intervention Now is the Time
It seems that as the year 2011 hit it became the year for intervention, and perhaps now would be a good time to push anger management intervention while people are becoming more intent on becoming involved.
First of all what does intervention really mean? It means stepping into a situation and taking control of the event. It is often explained as an act of mediation. In simple language though it means becoming involved and doing something, and this is certainly needed in some anger management situations.
All too often it is the wife of the angry husband that has to carry the brunt of the anger. She feels it is her responsibility to shield the children from the angry outbursts. She is expected to hide her shame and embarrassment when she has to explain to friends, neighbors and family members that her angered husband is just a hot head and doesn't mean what he says. There is the horrid circumstances where the wife has to take over at the checkout counter and make apologies for her irate husband.
If anyone thinks that anger management intervention is not necessary then all they have to do is walk in the shoes of the wife who lives with a husband who has anger management problems.
Many times in the beginning of a relationship when anger management becomes a problem the wife will fight back with angry responses. It's not long though where she loses the will to fight back. She hopes that she can make her angry husband recognize the emotional upheaval he is causing, and the strain that he is putting on their relationship.
This is where the family and friends of this couple can step in and form an intervention that could be to the benefit of everyone, and most importantly to the individual that is suffering with these angry outbursts.
Most people that suffer from anger management problems really do not want to be in this angered state. Often though they don't want to recognize that they have an anger management problem because they actually fear being out of control. By admitting they are dealing with anger management issues they are admitting that they have no control over the situation, and this can be frightening for them.
With anger management intervention it puts forth the fact that there is a group of people that care enough about the angered individual to what to help him get the help he needs. Now instead of this individual feeling like they are in this battle alone they feel relieved that others do not judge him, but truly want to help him.
An anger management intervention can truly be the turning point for the better in both the angered individual and his wife and family.
