August 3rd, Richard Ten Hoor, will facilitate a discussion on, "ANGER, HMMM..." Do you ever wonder who that was who just yelled at the kids? Do you turn into the Incredible Hulk? If anger causes us to get out of control, and alienate ourselves from those we want to help, why does it seem so instinctive? Richard has recently read a book that sorts ways people express anger into 5 categories.
What do you think about when you think of anger? Is is good, bad?
How did the people in your family express anger, while you were growing up?
What kinds of situations push your buttons?
When does anger seem justified?
Does anger help us feel more in control when we are feeling out of control?
What helps you stay in control? What doesn't?
What is the difference between being assertive and aggressive?
Don't let your anger catch you off guard!
STRANGER AT THE DOOR!
DO YOU HOPE IT GOES AWAY
IF YOU PLAY IT COOL AND JUST IGNORE IT?
BUT THEN IT KEEPS ON GROWING
'TIL THERE’S NO ROOM TO STORE IT?
DOES IT MAKE YOU SULK, “MAKE ‘EM PAY?”
DOES IT BRING YOU DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL?
OR MAKE YOU A “DAMSEL IN DISTRESS,”
ALWAYS FLEEING FROM “THE DEVIL?”
IF YOU “GIVE IT AN INCH--”
DOES IT ALWAYS TAKE A MILE?
SO YOU PUT ON A HAPPY FACE,
AND STAY IN DENIAL?
WHEN ANGER COMES TO YOUR HOUSE,
DOES IT MAKE YOU ACT POSSESSED?
OR IS IT LIKE A FAITHFUL WATCH DOG,
WHO ONLY WANTS WHAT’S BEST?
