verbally.
 YOU’RE OUT OF
CONTROL!!!!

boss, comes home &
yells at his wife, who yells
at the kids, who kick the
dog!!

24. Consequences
 You hurt innocent people
 Problem is not solved

25. BURYING (ignoring)
 When you hold your anger down inside
yourself because you think it isn’t nice to
have those feelings.
 Denying your angry isn’t dealing with it.
 It can come out in other ways:
headaches, stomachaches, anxious, dep
ressed
 One day you might explode!!

26. Consequences
 You hurt yourself
 You may hurt others when you
EXPLODE
 Problem is not solved

27. DEALING WITH ANGER
 When you find yourself
angry, REMEMBER the only
behavior you can manage is
YOUR own!!!
 So, pay attention to your anger
cues.
 And, if you feel like you’re going
to lose it…

28. Get a grip!!!
 1. Cool off, stay calm.
 Walk away
 Count to 10
 Take deep breaths
 Use calming self-talk: “I can handle this.
Chill. It’s not as bad as it seems.”
 Imagine you are in a peaceful place.

29.  2. Give yourself some time to sort things out.
 Write the problem down on paper.
 Think it through. Ask yourself: what really
happened? How was I triggered? What were
my cues.
 Talk it over with a friend or adult you trust.

30.  3. Turn your angry energy into a change for
the better.
 Tell the person making you angry how you feel.
 Channel your angry energy into a physical
activity.
 Try to solve the problem.
 Try to accept situations you can’t change.

31. EVERYBODY GETS ANGRY
 That’s just how it is.
 The difference comes in what you do
about it.
SO:
GET A GRIP!!!
