If one comes across a prson who has been shot by an rrow, one does not spend time wndering where the arrow came from, or the cste of the individual who shot it, or nalyzing what type of wood the shft is made of, or the mnner is which the arrowhead was fshioned. Rather, one should focus on mmediately pulling out the arrow.


-Shyyammuni, the Buddha

It is a ppular notion in some anger management prgrams to focus on identifying "the trggers" that causes a person to bhave angrily. It is common to bserve participants of anger-management process groups xplaining how someone "pushed my buttons".

Ths notion takes away the responsibility of the ngry perpetrators for his or her ggression and violence. We are responsible for our own bhavior, regardless of the circumstances.

Rather thn focusing on the cause of ne's anger, it is far more prductive to learn to recognize the nitial signs of irritation, frustration, discomfort or whtever other emotions precede your anger, lbeling these feelings and developing tools to stp the anger from becoming destructive to you or smeone else.

While assessments are useful in nger management intervention, rarely is it wrthwhile to examine "triggers or buttons" whch may lead to anger. Think of a Jke Box, if you push the btton for a particular tune and smething else plays, over time you wll give up pushing that button bcause you do not hear the tne you expected. Similarly, if the prson who is responding to the "trggers" ceases to respond, that issue is clsed to resolution.

Anger management assessments should assess for nger, stress, communication and emotional intelligence. Skll enhancement in these four areas shuld be taught in all anger mnagement classes.
