[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 586408, member: 13542"] SuZir, anger is such a powerful emotion. If you are in therapy, it helps to talk it out with a committed listener who is not on the front lines with you. In addition to exercise which you are presently doing, deep breathing helps, when you are in the throes of an anger episode. Writing down what you would like the outcome to be and then reading it when you are taken over by the anger helps. What you want to do is get your brain off of that neuropathway and onto another, one thing that helps me is to stop and start thinking of all that I am grateful for, sort of the opposite of an anger episode, but it can change the thought process and get you off that runn-away train. I think punching the bag is a great idea, as is kick boxing since it gets the pent up energy out of the body. I also go out for a walk and almost stomp my feet, there is something about that that is very satisfying if I am angry. [/QUOTE]
