Excerpt From The Art Of Managing: Environment
January 21st, 2010 admin Our environment and relationships in our life affect who we are nowadays. Up until we start school, our families have the largest influence on our lives. Our basic personalities are formed by the age of three, and we develop into small human beings by the age of six. Once we start school, teachers and friends start to influence our behavior. It’s incredible how others believe that they see what we should or should not do with our life better than we who really plotted our life’s lessons. Each of us goes through life fulfilling our dreams and other’s expectations. It is our dreams that bring us the maximum rewarding experiences. Reckon back in your life when you were maximum pleased…it was when you were fulfilling your dream.
A child’s base personality is formed during the first three years of life. My dad was an alcoholic and my mother was a rage-aholic. These behaviors result in the “pleaser” and “acting out” type of behaviors in the children. I was the former and my brother was the latter. As a “pleaser,” I continuously had to prove my worth and would not let myself fail. I have observed a tremendous number of women in management who were “pleasers” and who had a dread of failure. Understanding your parents lives helps with your self-development.
As a daughter of an alcoholic parent, I was codependent which is defined as the lack of Self or ego development. It involves powerful negative programming against rage, wants, and beliefs. People who are codependent see to external validation for self-worth. It’s approximately living from the exterior in, molding oneself to fit around others’ lives instead of directing the course of one’s own life from internal cues, hopes, dreams, wisdom, and power.
As an adult I did not feel excellent approximately myself, had difficulty trusting people, was unable to identify my needs and allow them to be met. During the summer of 1991, I felt my entire world collapsing. Family members and I could not communicate without rage. I was in a moment-level management position and my employees banded together to tell me what they did not like approximately my leadership fashion-inflexibility and lack of compassion or caring for others. I felt rejected by family members and work associates. The more I tried to please, the worse things got. I started working on Self. I started psychotherapy for the primary goal of coping with anxiety, rage, confusion, and a diminished sense of well-being with a secondary goal of modifying my behaviors and working toward fitting an empathic and compassionate person. On the surface I appeared self-sufficient and self-actualized, but I was truly depressed and suffered deep emotional pain. I was tough driving, workaholic, self-righteous, enabling, controlling, and in denial. Do you know people like this? You may see these characteristics in first-level supervisors and mid-level managers. By working on Self, these people will be able to have more caring and compassion for others fair as I have done.
It is my dream that “The Art of Managing…How to Build a Better Workplace and Relationships” can assist you achieve your goals and dreams.
From Cary and Crystal Lake, IL: How Anger Destroys Families and How Counseling Can Help
January 13th, 2010 admin The strongest contributor to individual character development is the family unit. You may have spent years trying to alter, eliminate, or imitate the influence of certain members of your family unit-consciously or unconsciously.
Consequently, whether rage is portion of your familys culture, you have probably noticed that it tends to spread itself to future generations. The wider it has spread, the more tough it is to contain.
Take a see at the way members of your family relate with one another. Is there a hurtful and biting rage present? Recollect, our earliest experiences communicating, problem-solving and relating to others occurs within our nuclear family. Unfortunately, patterns of rage in these relationships are then recreated in later relationships and subsequent family systems.
Fortunately, counseling and an expert treatment plot can eliminate the hurt of having lived in an insane or abusive family unit.
How Dysfunctional Rage Destroys Relationships
Rage is a very common destroyer of relationships. Couples, but, often underestimate or minimize its impact by sometimes reporting that it is this rage that makes the relationship feel lively. A very perilous notion.
How does irrational rage start? It grows in relationships which are insecure and where open communication is absent. The emotion of like then becomes buried beneath years and years of hostility and resentment. In these relationships, helplessness often exists in the present and anxiety and dread overwhelm thoughts approximately the future.
The news is not all terrible, but. The excellent news is that whether you are motivated to take portion in marital or family therapy you can be rewarded with modern optimism and hope.
The following are tips on how to limit destructive rage in your relationships:
1. When you feel insane, mentally evaluate your feelings. Question yourself whether you are over-reacting or jumping to conclusions.
2. Particularly, whether you have nothing to lose, start by giving others the benefit of the doubt. Question yourself whether you have taken something too personally or over-reacted.
3. Go to higher ground; get a broader perspective. When you feel resentment building, conversation your feelings over with a loved one and get additional feedback.
4. Whether certain relationships are repeatedly fraught with rage, assess whether or not you should stay in them.
5. Whether your rage feels out of control and/or mysterious and particularly, whether the relationship is vital, consider family or relationship counseling.
How Do I Know Whether a Family Member Has an Rage Problem?
Maximum of the time insane individuals are aware that they have problems controlling rage. Unfortunately, many of them come to accept that their rage is unchangeable, a fixed aspect of their personality and feel hopeless to to do anything approximately it. Whether you amazement whether you or a loved one may have an rage problem, see for several of the following symptoms:
1. Fitting inappropriately insane in response to mild frustration or irritation.
2. Experiencing painful feelings of guilt or regret over something that you have said or done in a fit of rage.
3. The existence of repeated interpersonal conflicts that result from insane outbursts (legal problems, arguments, hurt to property, school or work suspensions, etc.)
4. Family and/or friends approaching or appealing to you to control your rage.
5. Having chronic physical symptoms which are generated or exacerbated by too much rage, such as tall blood pressure, gastrointestinal difficulties etc.
Where do I Seek Assist for an Rage Problem?
Mental health professionals are very responsive to those who seek treatment for rage dysfunction. Referrals to treatment professionals and services are available through The American Psychological Organization, The American Counseling Organization and The National Organization of Social Workers.
You may feel shame or guilt approximately your rage issues and these problems can really alter the lives of you and your loved ones, for the worst. Therefore, it is critical to refer to with a counseling or mental health professional who has many years of experience in rage management training.
What Kind of Treatments are Available for My Rage Chaos?
The maximum common approaches to rage management problems include the use of individual and family therapies. These therapies assist one to become aware of specific triggers and thinking processes which lead to chronic rage and demonstrate how to reckon productively, rather than irrationally.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy explores the root of insane feelings and behavior in a counseling format that includes only one client. This counseling approach helps the individual to focus on the maximum vital emotions causing his or her excessive rage.
Family Therapy
Family therapy is a powerful and comprehensive way of repairing the hurt caused by longer-term expressions of hurtful rage. Chronic rage commonly alienates family members from each other, resulting in strained communication. It can too cause members to be overly involved with one another in a very dysfunctional way.
Family therapy considers each members role in the dysfunction rather than fair pinpointing one person.
How Marriage and Family Therapy Assist
Marriage and family therapists, psychologists and mental health counselors are trained in how to identify rage patterns that pass from generation to generation. Identifying these patterns through counseling helps each client to explore his or her perceptions, prejudices and misunderstandings approximately the appropriateness of certain types of rage.
For example, when parents reflect on how emotions were expressed in their nuclear families, subsequent family members start to know the family’s inherited concepts approximately rage and how to right them.

January 12th, 2010 admin Nowadays we dread all kinds of external enemies. It is not so simple to realize, but, that the worse foe we face is the rage that resides within us, the terrorism it causes and the ways this poison affects so much of our lives.
It is one thing to be told to forgive one another. It is another to know how to do this. Even though we may want to forgive, rage can be ruthless in the course it takes, attacking and disrupting our body, mind and spirits.
But, there are many specific steps we can take to root this toxin out of our lives. As we do the results will be reflected not only in our mental and emotional well-being, but too in our environment and physical health. When rage is rooted out, like and forgiveness occur naturally and our lives and relationships become all they are meant to be.
Rage has many faces. It appears in various forms and makes different consequences. Rage that is overt is the simplest to deal with and know. When we or someone we know is openly insane, we know what we are up against and can address it directly.
Unfortunately, but, maximum rage lurks beneath the surface. It often does not come to our awareness and manifests in endless, hidden ways – as depression, anxiety, apathy, hopelessness, and in myriad other forms.
Some of The 24 Forms of Rage –
The first step in rooting rage out of our lives is fitting aware of it. It is crucial that we recognize rage for what it is, realize when it is appearing and notice the devastation it makes. When rage is allowed to remain camouflaged it holds us in its grip and easily erodes the quality of our entire lives.
By recognizing the 24 forms of rage, we will be able to shine a flashlight on the hidden foe. Fitting aware is the first step. Then we can select to eliminate each one of these forms of rage, one a day. There are many wonderful antidotes that we can take. Instead of allowing rage to take hold, we simply replace it with a life giving, constructive, healing response.
To start we will see at a few of the 24 forms of rage, and its effect upon your life: More will be explored in further articles and are too detailed in The Rage Diet. We will too explore some ways these forms of rage can be eliminated.
1)Straighforward Rage – Attack.
This is rage that is clear-cut and simple to
recognize. The rage comes right out. Many regret it afterwards, feeling they couldn’t control themselves. This kind of rage has a life of its own, it rises like a flash storm and can easily turn into verbal, emotional or physical abuse.
2)Hypocrisy –
You are insane, but conceal it beneath a smile and present a fake persona, pretending to be someone you’re not. This behavior evolves into terrible faith of all kinds. Although you reckon you are fooling others, in truth you are losing yourself and your own self-respect.
3)Depression –
Depression is so pervasive these days, and it ranges the gamut from mild to severe. Depression is rage and rage turned against oneself
It comes from not being able to identify or appropriately express the rage one
is feeling. It then simply turns into depressions, attack against the person who is experiencing it.
4)Passive Agression
This is a form of rage expressed not by what we do but by what we do not do. We refuse to give the other person what they question for, want or need. In this manner we rage the other while making it seem as though they are the one that is overly demanding. This is a way of expressing rage without taking responsibility for it, and blaming the other for what we have set in motion.
Steps To Dissolving Rage
Needless to say there are many specific steps to take to undo different forms of rage. We will offer some samples. The vital point to realize is that rage can be deflated in a moment. We can select to see things differently. We can select to make a different response.
It takes only a moment to escalate a situation and in that same moment, the distress can be de-escalated. We must halt in the middle of automatic rage that arises, and take charge of what is going on.
We can and must select that we will not let rage take over and govern. We have the right and will to select our response.
Sample Ways To De-Esclate Rage:
1)Straightforward Attack:
Halt in the middle of a situation in which you either feel insane or are being attacked. Expand your vistas. Rather than respond in a knee-jerk manner, say to yourself, “Like me, this person has suffered. Like me, this person wants to be pleased, like me this person experiences loneliness and loss.”
As you do this, you are recognizing the similarities and common humanity you share, rather than focus on the differences. For a moment, allow the person to be right. You have plenty of time to be right later. Question yourself, what is more vital to you, to be “right” or to be releaseof rage, to be compassionate?
2)Hypocrisy:
This is a common form of rage that appears in many different ways. When you notice yourself pretending, lying, exaggerating or deceiving, halt. Tell the truth at that moment. Be the truth.
Whether you do not know what the truth is, be silent and become aware of what the deepest truth is for you and the other. (This will not only restore excellent will, it will connect you with what is maximum meaningful.)
3)Depression:
Make friends with yourself nowadays. When we are depressed, we are rejecting, hating and blaming ourselves. Undo this fake state of mind. Find five things you admire and respect approximately who you are. Focus on sharing your excellent qualities with another.
In depression we are only absorbed with ourselves. A wonderful antidote is to become absorbed with how you can reach out to and assist another.
As we root rage out of our lives, and find meaningful substitutions not only our lives but the lives of our loved ones, friends and acquaintances will be lifted and enhanced. Attempt the rage diet and see.

Ways to Heal From Past Trauma with Art
December 31st, 2009 admin Art work is an brilliant means of self-expression, and many people use art this way, but how many people know that art can be used to manage rage and heal from past traumas. Art fair for the fun of it is not what we are discussing though. Art as a simple pleasure might keep you from losing your mind, but art as Rage Work is something else. It is a more active way to express your rage through what you make or do. Many examples of rage or other powerful emotions can be found from the greatest artists, painters, musicians, and dancers, but the rest of us can focus our rage and thereby heal, as well. Being a brilliant artist isn’t a requirement either.
Kids and others not so youthful really benefit Art Rage Work. They may make a descriptive image with their insane feelings, or they may make and then ruin some piece of art. It is best to let your rage flow as you make paintings, for example. One victim of sexual molestation may design summary drawings dominated in black tones. Another may make a jumble of body parts expressing the confusion and disconnectedness he feels. One of my clients years ago, who was very upset at a former counselor who used to eat potato chips during their sessions and had even slipped into a nap during a counseling appointment with the client on one occasion. To express this rage she drew a caricature of her former therapist lounging on the sofa with cookie crumbs all over her. Her eyes were heavily lidded, and a small balloon above her head peruse ?Want a cookie?? My client drew herself on the other sofa as a nondescript naked body with a enormous knife sticking out of her guts and blood pooling on the floor below her. She was very cautious to include the plaque that hung ironically on her former counselor’s wall: it peruse ?It?s Never Too Late To Have A Pleased Childhood.? In this one drawing the client was able to express her desperate need for assist and her rage at feeling neglected by the therapist.
To start your rage work through artistic expression, let your creativity go. Who knows, perhaps you will make some items worth selling someday. A couple of professional artists with whom I have worked with over the years have changed their fashion of artistic expression after getting into Rage Work. They often feel even more connected to their pieces because of the intense level of self expression.
Some other modes of artistic expression you may want to explore are those of expressive dance, creative movement, and creative visualization. This could even be in the form of a creative work-out routine. For example, as a survivor of rape or sexual abuse you may make a special work-out routine as one of my clients did. There were three movements to her routine. The first was a straight, powerful punch forward at eye level, imagining that she was punching her attacker in the face. The moment movement was a swift, powerful kick upward, imagining that she was kicking the attacker in his private parts. The third movement brought her arm up over her head, then down in front in a swift swinging motion where her clenched fist met her open palm like a hammer, finally symbolizing her crushing the attacker?s private parts between an anvil and a large, metal hammer. She repeated these movements in sequence for 15 to 20 minutes at a time several times a week, or whenever she felt the victim mentality taking hold of her again. She found it helped her go from a place of dread into a sort of dance that tells a tale, the way a ballet does. You do not need to have special training to do this. It is your tale. As a entire being, body, mind and spirit, you can express your experience with yourself as the only audience. Creative movement is not the same thing as expressive dance. It can be one, simple, repetitive movement or a series of movements that have symbolic meaning to you.
Creative Visualization is another tool, a sort of art form in your mind, which you can use. You can pretend that you are a lion ripping up the person who hurt you, or you can imagine a cleansing fire burning absent all the evil in a person and leaving behind only that which is excellent and worthy of remaining. Use your imagination and visualize symbolic scenes which will assist you heal.
One thought for enjoyable way to use creative visualization. Find a metaphor that works for you and visualize yourself rising above your current problems. You can pretend that you are hiking on the path of life and your particular problems are vines trying to grow around your ankles and keep you from climbing to higher ground. Visualize yourself overcoming that challenge by stomping on them, hacking them up or simply climbing over them.
Any number of art activities or creative visualizations can serve as Rage Work for you. Relax and let yourself go. Keep trying until you find one that works, or many! What is vital is that you do find effective ways to do your Rage Work so that you can live a more peaceful, joyful life.

December 21st, 2009 admin My sister is an insane person, but is in denial. My parents and I have chose that the situation can’t stay the same. We were initially thinking to go to an rage management therapy program TOGETHER, for 10 weeks, 1 hour per week. It’s essentially a course. But I am thinking that 10 weeks may not be sufficient time for her… she hasn’t even realized that she has a problem! (My mom told her nowadays that we should get assist but she kept denying it.) She is cruel and nasty often. She calls her bf a dick, a**gap, and other fun names. He is submissive and doesn’t respond with any name calling, sometimes not saying anything at all. He is always nice and he enables her rage.
I’m thinking that it might be better to attend regular therapy sessions together for an indefinite period of time. OR Is it possible to benefit from the 10 week program?? (The program does include discussions of why you are insane.. your life history.. etc)
