Anger management in three steps:
- Sip the tea.
- Pet teh kittah.
- Repeat.
Venting never helped me.
Good article, thnx @everhopeful
Same. Venting just amplifies and prolongs the anger. Does nothing to diffuse it.
I’m just wondering what they did to make the people angry for this study… 
I wonder if this “venting doesn’t help” applies to other things besides just anger.
Because it sure seems to me that it helps to get things off your chest when things are bothering you. Makes you feel better.
So what does the article say? I like to yell the f word like I have tourettes syndrome. Did that make the list?
Like most things, yelling the F word is probably linked to increased risk of cancer, according to the experts.
Just playing the odds here.
Omg Bowens the stooges literally about to come on TV lol
hmmm. i almost never get angry. but when i do i guess i sorta mumble about it or rant about it to myself for like 30 seconds then i move on and forget quickly.
I get angry when outside…i mean i know what i have and the meaning behind it but for cant control so i have to be alone
Venting doesn’t help release existing anger, it helps build up and express repressed anger in the form of things like anxiety, awkwardness, guilt and shame. It’s not a tool to deal with anger itself but to help alleviate a buildup of the above that are impeding the role of anger in your internal regulation, suppressing your anger cues. The release of venting is meant as an unclog function, it’s for when you need to feel able to express your emotions without judgement, not for when you are simply pissed off and wanting to lower your inhibitions to give in to your base instincts.
I think identifying the underlying cause of the anger is a important tool to know what is going on and diffuse it. I’ve read a bit of a book on CBT and it gives a lot of insight. Hoping to finish the book soon as it is interesting.
It was this on repeat for 10 hours.
I’m trained to give “piece of mind” more than having a “peace of mind”.
I am constantly venting. I don’t take a prn or anything. The police understand. 
The people in the study may not have much stress. Articles are now dissecting human behavior and saying what is best or normal. That standard is varying per person.
Anger is easy to manage. When I get mad I just kick the dog and steal candy from a baby. I do that a few times and before you know it I’m as happy as a clam.
