The work that anger management treatments do is help the angry person to respond calmly, deliberately and with better judgment than he would have responded otherwise. Once you are able to handle your anger and not explode with rage, or seethe with anger that is held in, your treatment is said to be successful. There are a number of things that the treatment will do. Not only will it make you more productive and a better person to be around, but you will find numerous health benefits to aid you as you continue your life's journey. You will find that you are experiencing less emotional turmoil and mental tension or anxiety. These reductions will result in a more stress free life. And it is from this place that numerous health benefits can then come into play. Your risk of getting heart diseases and immune system weaknesses will all go down. Your risk of having a stroke is also going to be significantly reduced. This is an important one for you to remember. Be aware that it is medically documented that enough people have had crippling strokes on the very same day that they were angry for medics to believe that there is a connection between anger and the paralyzing illness. A good anger management treatment will among other things help you learn how to put time between an irritant and your response to it. When you are able to do this your responses will be much more to your advantage than if you were to react impulsively to your annoyances. Anger and impulsiveness both in one place often leads to some sort of damage or pain being inflicted. By now you may be wondering if you can treat yourself for anger. The answer is yes you can. But the answer is also do you really want to treat your anger yourself? The reason I ask it that way is because an anger management professional will be able to point out to you the things that may hinder or challenge your progress. Look at it this way…In a few short weeks of treatment; people were able to see their response to anger improve by about 20%. They know this because one of the things you will do is learn how to assign a measurement to your responses. These measurements will put you in position to see for yourself how much progress you are making. Guilt, anxiety, depression, low self esteem and other disorders will all be worked on by a professional until they are correct. As said a minute ago, you will be able to see good results in a matter of weeks. But you should also keep in mind that the longer the treatment runs the better long term results you can expect to receive. To make your anger management treatment a huge success, you should do two things. First, you should translate or re-word every treatment idea so that it fits your situation. This is so that you would not be working with abstract, but concrete ideas. Secondly you should take refresher sessions on a regular or as needed basis. Failure to do this is likely to cause your anger management treatment to break down or go into remission.
