Anger management?

Question

does it really help? Boyfriend is going for it and I just want to know if it makes a difference.

can anyone give me an example from their own experience?

Answer 1

The movie was funny.

I have never been. The only people I know who have been, I think, were pretty angry people and I don't know how much it helped.

Good luck with that. Who did your boyfriend attack?

Answer 2

I had to go to classes every Monday night for 8 weeks back in 1999 I was always in fights at school and I would fight out of school and that when my teacher told my parent to take me to Anger management to help my temper.... But I never had a temper with my family or in my house, but once I was around dumb bitches at school or if i was looked at wrong or for a looked at for more than a min with out saying anything would set me off so I would want to mop the floor with there face... I graduated from the class and it helped me, but I still would get mad and I still would fight after that... But I changed and grow up and now I trip my self out because I'm so quit now and I don't go out much and I don't talk to many people... I just take it as a life experience..

Answer 3

Anger management does teach them techniques to stabilize themselves. But it does not make them hold themselves accountable for their actions. There is another class, that targets the batterers syndrome, here it is called Solutions. Might want to call your local women's crisis to find out about it. If he keeps the mentality that excuses the abuse, then even if he doesn't hit you anymore, he will still be abusive in all those other ways; and you know what i mean, right?

Answer 4

Not having been there I can't speak from experience, but having worked with kids who will one day grow up to be some of these adults, it will work if the person involved is willing to go and also willing to take responsibility for their actions. It just depends on the individual. Good luck.

Answer 5

Yes. The fact that he's going is a good first sign. Speaking from experience, he has to be willing to accept responsibility. You both have to know that you can't fix it overnight; It will take time. Too late I learned how young, dumb and immature I was, and the hurt I caused. He must learn so much, why he's angered, what sets him off, and how to handle it. Hang in there. However, never let anyone hurt you. Get out if you must.

Answer 6

Yes it helps a lot. My sister was ordered to go by the court and she has changed a lot on i am so happy for her. She told me it was a weight lifted off of her. That she could breath better. I know for a fact that it works cause i have seen a change in her but then you also have to want to change.

Answer 7

Rent the show - Anger Management.... it does helps i think

Answer 8

Been there, done that. It only works if you truly want to change. Most of the time in my classes we just sat around and complained about our girlfriends/wives.

For it to be effective, you have to be a part of it with him to help learn how to deal with confrontational situations more productively.

I agree with the post above about selfish wives. I truly feel that was a big part of my problem. Thus, we're getting divorced!

Answer 9

Yes it sure does help and make a difference if he chooses to learn and do things they way that they teach him to.

Answer 10

Yes and no,

A truely bad man -- its doubtful

A good man that is frustrated -- he'll learn to hold it in better. But that won't change the fact he has a selfish wife (that is the only thing a truely good man gets pissed at)
