When is it time to seek help with anger management? One sign that it’s time to seek help is when “managing” anger and the violent or abusive expression of anger have become synonymous.
In NewsTelegram.com’s coverage of the Lizzi Marriott murder trial, among other things, Scott Hampton, a doctor of psychology and the executive director of Ending the Violence, is quoted saying: “The problem is that most abusers don’t have an anger management problem. They have an anger management solution.”
What is your anger management solution? Are you seeing an escalation in yourself or in someone you love?
Elsewhere in the NewsTelegram.com article, Dr. Hampton describes the fear that keeps people in tricky situations, saying: “The assumption we make is someone cannot be afraid of someone and in love with them at the same moment. “I have seen dozens of cases where people ask, ‘Why not just leave?’ The answer is ‘If I leave, I have to give up my life as I know it.'”
