Anger Issues And Differences Between The Sexes

Anger Issues And Differences Between The Sexes. He says, she says. Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus.

Now a day, everything seems to be about the difference between the sexes. Are anger issues different between the sexes?

Do men handle anger differently then women do? Men typically lose control faster than women do. Women tend to stay in control even when their feelings intensify. Men tend to have an easy time of learning to control their anger once they understand how hurtful their actions have become.

Women once they give in to their anger, they have a more difficult time ignoring it. The differences can be traced to biology. Men tend to bottle things up and not want to talk about their feelings. Women need to be able to let go of their emotions.

Given these differences; the first step in anger management is different for men, then for women. Men need to identify the emotions associated with their anger episodes and women need to understand how to control the negative aspects of the emotions associated with their anger.

After the first step, anger management is pretty much the same for both men and women. Both sexes can benefit from using an anger management journal to record what happens when they lose their battle to control their anger. Men and women both are capable of identifying triggers (things that set off anger).

Problem solving can lead to alternative ways of handling anger- causing situations and men and women can both accomplish this task. Anger management also involves being able to understand weakness in others and what motivates actions taken by those involved in anger episodes. Both men and women learn to forgive themselves and others.

Perhaps one of the most important aspects of anger management is learning that controlling anger can be a freeing experience. One common factor or trigger of anger for both men and women is the issue of forgiveness and the presence of guilt.
