Anger mgmt. ? If someone has periodic fits of rage( 3-4 months ) does the cause !
Question:
Anger mgmt. ? If someone has periodic fits of rage( 3-4 months ) does the cause matter, or only the solution?
My GF has periodic and severe outbursts of rage over no or minimal provocation.
We have discussed it trying to determine the cause, I.E. unresolved past issues," bottle necking" or is she actually just angry at me ( which btw does not seem to be the case)
He councelor has told her the " Why" does not matter, only being able to manage the anger and out bursts is important.
Seems to me the "why" should be important too.
Answers:
In order to understand how to solve this problem, you really need to figure out why this occurs. It may appear unprovoked, but even the smallest little thing (possibly even unknown to her) can trigger these outbursts. Her and her counselor need to focus more on the "why." If he says that this isn't important, he is doing a lousy job, and I would consider finding a different doctor. When you uncover why this is happening, you will better be able to control it.
Best of luck to you and your girlfriend!
