What is anger management

Anger management is like putting a puzzle together. You start off with the idea that something is wrong. What is wrong? Well we all have an idea of how we want to live our lives; sort of like the picture of a scene on a puzzle on a box.

How do you pick out a puzzle? You do so by the pictures, complexity of pieces, and of course number of pieces. You look at the box, the picture looks good, you take it home. Home, you dump the puzzle out on the table and what do you have? Certainly not the picture perfect on the box. Instead you have a pile of mixed up, disorganized pieces. This pile of a mess is kind of like a person's emotional life. So what do you do, well, if you try to fix it yourself you are just going to get further frustrated. So you reach out to someone for help. That person then helps you to step back and evaluate the problem. Then you come up with a plan, and the plan is to look for the straight pieces that form the boundaries. Starting with the four corners of you begin to shape the area of concern. Once together, the time consuming job of discovering which piece fits where comes into play. But this task too has a plan. You segregate compartmentalize the like pieces and begin to form small patterns within the large picture. Generally speaking, there are four patterns within each puzzle. The key is to discover those four patters. A good place to start is the four corners. By the way, the four corners are the four steps to SEA-CAP.
