[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where is the anger from? Is it a symptom of mental illness? Poor coping skills? Family anger? Childhood abuse? He needs to not just deal with it behaviorally but to understand it or it will just keep coming back. Anger is like pain - just a symptom of the bigger problem. You need to find and treat the source.[/quote] Understanding where the anger is coming from is really only helpful to a point. Client can spend years in therapy trying to "understand" their behavior while continuing to express it inappropriately. the problem is that it's like an addiction-or a very bad habit and a person needs a ton of behavioral support to change. 12-step meetings (EA anonymous), a plan of action when anger rises up, and things like that help the most.[/quote]
