If you or someone you love is navigating their way through recovery, there's one thing that will either be a roadblock or a catalyst on the journey: a true, holistic understanding of anger. Unfortunately, most recovery programs don't address or properly understand anger, and many times, this leads to relapse or a rougher transition, even for people who don't consider themselves "angry." In The Missing Peace, bestselling author and recovery movement pioneer John Lee shows that true happiness and fulfillment is not only possible-but within your grasp. Using his highly acclaimed Detour Method, a proven process he uses at seminars and workshops nationwide, Lee shows you how to free many of the anger issues that are holding you back. Through his expert advice, personal stories and his step-by-step program, he will open your eyes to the pervasive myths about anger; help you recognize if you or someone you love has issues with anger; and he will reveal the red-flag scenarios you need to be aware of in day-to-day situations. John Lee proves that when you put down the anger, you make room in your life for love, laughter and joy to flourish. Let The Missing Peace be your guide to a new level of living.

Download or read book Addiction Grief written by Barb Rogers and published by Mango Media Inc.. This book was released on 2011-10-01 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How learning to deal with unresolved emotions leads to true healing—and authentic emotional recovery from addiction. Just as one needs to hit bottom with drinking or using in order to begin recovery, eventually one will also hit an emotional “bottom” of fear, anger, and grief. And recovery can only start by first understanding how, when, and where those emotions took control. Barb Rogers challenges readers in recovery to investigate the unresolved grief and loss in their lives and navigate the impacts of those emotions—emotions that can lead back to using if not resolved. Recovery from addictions involves more than getting sober. It involves finding happiness, which can only happen if the emotional work is done as well. Negative emotions have the ability to weigh on us and influence both our decisions and the way we handle life’s challenges. If we continue to live with fear, anger, and grief, we aren’t really free from our addictions. The steps to recovery—authentic and complete recovery—involve healing from the deeper issues in our life.

Download or read book Handbook of Anger Management written by Ronald T. Potter-Efron and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides therapists and counsellors with a comprehensive review of anger and aggression management techniques, presenting specific guidelines to a number of immediately useful methods, detailing treatment options and intervention methods that meet the needs of individual clients, couples, families, and groups. It examines rage, aggression, hostility, resentment, hatred, anger avoidance, and chronic anger and includes fact-based case studies that illustrate effective theory and practice. A process for assessing anger in their clients and determining the reasons for - and the consequences of - anger and aggression is suggested. Individual and group modalities are examined, using behavioural, cognitive, affective, and existential/spiritual treatment approaches to define anger and anger problems and how they relate to social learning, to examine the relationship between anger and aggression and between anger and domestic violence, and to address the concept of "healthy anger." Other topics covered include : four major intervention areas that can help lessen anger; the pros and cons of group versus individual counselling; treating angry children, adolescents, and families; how patterns of resentment and hatred are developed; self-forgiveness; five damaging aspects of anger turned inward; and the neurological aspects of anger.
Download or read book Recovery from Anger Addiction written by Verryl V. Fosnight and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2016-03-29 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Book Presents a Paradigm Shift About Toxic Anger: Anger Is An Addiction Using the wisdoms of John Bradshaw, Pia Mellody, Claudia Black, Alice Miller, and many other recovery giants, Verryl grew to understand himself in the context of his past traumas. He was finally able to apply all the theories of these authors to heal his anger and rage. This expansion of theory to the emotion of toxic anger results in a revolutionary new concept of anger as an addiction. This paradigm shift empowers a person to recover from rage as an ill person seeking to be well, as opposed to a bad person trying to act better. Telling yourself you are a bad person is a self-defeating message to your inner self, but an ill person can get well. He presents this new, simple, and enlightened treatment for anger in easy to follow language. Ultimately these conclusions are illustrated as a set of simple diagrams that outline the full path of angers development starting from the core emotion of pain from early losses through raging behavior that is life damaging. Using the revolutionary model of anger as an addiction, he demonstrates that anger can be healed. There is no need to rationally manage toxic anger (while remaining a bad person). Toxic anger practically evaporates as an emotional impulse as the underlying pain is resolved in the good, but ill person. Included: Research survey paper on Anger Management classes by Desiree Harris, M. C.

Download or read book Anger and Rage Addiction the Self Pact written by Stephen Rich Merriman and published by . This book was released on 2013-08 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anger and Rage Addiction & the Self-Pact: New Lights on an Old Nemesis presents a close look at the dynamics of anger and rage, as viewed through the lens of Addiction Theory-drawing on discriminating, diagnostic criteria derived directly from the world of alcoholism and drug addiction. The insights and, more importantly, the ramifications for treatment of Anger and Rage Addiction that result, are profound. They depart decisively from hackneyed, and insufficient, "mitigation, modification and management" strategies that have long been in vogue as the standard approach for treatment of anger and rage "disorders." Moving beyond such rationally based interventions, a new approach, called the Self-Pact, draws completely on the Addiction model to establish its foundation and efficacy. The Self-Pact is presented in detail. The Self-Pact holds considerable promise in both curtailing the mayhem that untreated Anger and Rage Addiction looses on the outer world, and emboldening those afflicted with Anger and Rage Addiction to embark on their own odyssey, replete with discoveries, adventures, reconciliation with self and others, and personal encounters with "whole" states of being.

This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Created by a psychologist who works for the Department of Veterans Affairs and a marriage and family therapist who works for Sharp Mesa Vista Hospital, this mindfulness training workbook is effective for treating the emotion dysregulation, stress, depression, and grief that lie at the heart of addiction.

Download or read book Rage written by Ronald Potter-Efron and published by New Harbinger Publications. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Powerful Tools for Overcoming Extreme Anger Do you or someone you care about experience episodes of extreme and unpredictable anger? Intense rages that threaten relationships, jobs, property-or worse? The first thing you need to know is that you are not alone. Researchers estimate that some 7 percent of Americans may at some time experience a condition called intermittent explosive disorder (IED), which is characterized by reoccurring periods of extraordinary anger, and millions more have less frequent yet equally damaging experiences with rage. The second thing you need to know is that there is help. Rage can be calmed and controlled with good advice and a practical, effective plan for change. From renowned anger expert Ronald Potter-Efron, this book breaks down rage into four types: In survival rage, anger is triggered by a sense of danger or threat; feelings of helplessness can trigger impotence rage; the third type, abandonment rage, is triggered by a fear of losing a cherished relationship; and shame rage occurs when someone feels very disrespected. Rage briefly discusses how the brain functions during extreme emotion, and then it turns to the task of helping you stop episodes of rage-right now! In classic Potter-Efron style, the book places the responsibility for control squarely on the shoulders of the angry individual. There is no room in this dangerous situation for whys and becauses. Instead, Rage offers no-nonsense, step-by-step anger management tools that really work.
Download or read book Asperger Syndrome and Alcohol written by Matthew Tinsley and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2008-06-15 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asperger Syndrome and Alcohol exposes the unexplored problem of people with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) using alcohol as a coping mechanism to deal with everyday life. Alcohol can relieve the anxiety of social situations and make those with ASDs feel as though they can fit in. Ultimately, however, reliance on alcohol can lead the user down a path of self-destruction and exacerbate existing problems. Utilising their professional and personal experience, the authors provide an overview of ASDs and of alcohol abuse, and explore current knowledge about where the two overlap. Tinsley explores his own personal history as someone with an ASD who has experienced and beaten alcohol addiction. He discusses how the impact of his diagnosis and his understanding of the condition played a huge part in his recovery, and how by viewing his life through the prism of autism, his confusion has been replaced by a greater understanding of himself and the world around him. This inspiring book on an under-researched area will be of interest to professionals working with people with ASDs, as well as individuals with ASDs who may be dealing with alcohol or substance misuse, and their families.
