How to improve anger management and stress?!


Question: How to improve anger management and stress?
My boyfriend stresses out very easily. We were barely 2 minutes late to a college pe course this morning and his brow stuck and he was frowning. Talking about how he hoped he'd trip on the track and hurt himself. He struggles with anger management too. I've tried to encourage him to see a counselor and go to the schools learning assistance program for help with school which also frustrates him. and encourage him to look for a new job. But he gives me excuses. I want to help but hes making it very difficult. Any suggestions?

I can really understand your concern. However the best way to help your boyfriend is for you not to stress out. You stressing out will only aggravate him further. You can’t change the way your boyfriend handles stress but you can control your actions and reactions.

In approaching your boyfriend about your concern for him with regards to the way he deals with stress it is important that you wait until he is relaxed and not in the middle of a crisis. To talk to him about his lack of control with stress whilst he is in a stressed state is like throwing petrol on a fire.

Picking the right time to address stress issues can work wonders. Talk to him about how sometimes you also get freaked out when things don’t go to plan and perhaps tell him what you do to take back control. Tell him that you love him and that you want the best for him. He will then be in a more receptive frame of mind to accept your suggestion that he gets some stress management counseling.

First, stop trying to change your boyfriend. After long experience - so you can trust me here - I've found that trying to change someone doesn't work! It instead just seems to increase resentment!

But you can try and motivate him to want to change. Which might mean saying - without making him wrong - that he's a lovely person, but you just don't know how to deal with his stress, and it's affecting you negatively, so you're unfortunately going to have to break off with him...

Ask yourself how best to motivate him to change, listen to your still small voice - NOT your mind - and then do what your higher self tells you. Remember your higher self is part of you, so it's on your side!

Life brings you situations to deal with, and if you don't change your thoughts and actions around those situations - learn the lesson they contain for you - then stress increases! So ask yourself what could the lessons be here, give yourself ten possible answers - write them all down to maximize the stress-reducing benefits - and then choose one.

If he wants to learn how to reduce stress, you might suggest he checks out the free online seminar at

I would say to give him something to calm him down at this point until he wants to go and talk to a doctor or a counsuler. Like a stress ball, i actually heard that they work really well with releving stress. good luck!
