Recovery 2 Day Short Listing Anger

2-Day We continue in our discussion of creating Short Lists, Anger is the topic. Anger and fear produces stress, stress is known to produce lapse or relapse for people with substance problems. After learning Stroop Charts and using EMDR, we need to move quickly into reducing stress. Our emotional reactions to our life’s problems are screaming for our attention. If you have spent years avoiding them or “stuffing” these emotions, then, they stick to our minds like glue. Many people readdress this mentally, as if a movie is playing, and we are stuck with the outcome. Often this makes us use angry just like a substance, by falling back in to an angry state of mind, can produce a range of poor choices, the biggest being getting so upset that you return to using. Sometimes it is used as an excuse, sometimes as an escape, and sometimes self medicating. Learn how to manage the events by learning how to short list anger. 2-Day on Recovery 2 Day.
