Anger Managment

[Rookie120 0]

I went to my first abger class 1 on 1 with a shrink on friday. I dont know if this was supposed to help me but after 30 minutes in the room talking with this dousche, I was more pissed off then when I walked in. All this dick wanted to try to pull out of me was my past- and I dont mean last week, but years ago. I told him if I didnt have to work with assholes I wouldnt be pissed half the time. He just couldnt get the concept on that. It must have been my mom whoopin my ass when I was 10 or something. I dont know what this guy wants me to say. But if this is what therapy is supposed to be like you people are truly getting screwed over. I have never been one to go to the doctor for anything. But for a while there I knew the ER doc by a first name basis. Maybe this guy was the lowest bidder thats why the company paid for it. All I know it I have to see him 5 more times. I dont know what we will talk about next. Maybe my favorite color or something. Should I just tell him what he wants to hear or should I be as stuborn as I usually am? I am dreading the next session on Monday at 3pm. I love how I have to go in the middle of the day and then work that night. No sleep on my first day back. This should be fun.

I think you should tell him what he wants to hear. What do you have to lose?

Unless you are afraid.

Thats the problem, I dont know what he wants to hear. If I knew what to say I would tell him just to shut him up.

You're joking right? Yeah, I think you're afraid of what might happen if you play the game. It's ok, no shame in fear...

Fear of what? He asked what was the cause of my outburst at work and I told him then he jumped right into wanting to know about my childhood. I only have 4 years of college so maybe that why I dont get it. Need at least 7 to understand this shit.

I'm looking at a courses to take now! I'll work on the humility. All joking aside, everybody who knows me laughs when I told them I had to do this. They thought it was a joke. But hey whatever make the boss happy.

Listen to the question he asks and then answer him. Answering a question is not rocket science. You sound like you are over analyzing this. Are you afraid that if he finds "something" you will be fired or is it that if he finds "something" you will be left feeling exposed?

Tell him in a very calm voice that you thought over your actions and realize the outburst was unwarranted. Then say that you've decided next time to just calmly chop them up into little pieces.

I'm sensing that Anger Management classes piss you off. People who tell other people they need a Anger Management class are into behavior modification. I've always felt behavior modification is a great tool and have found that busting them in the mouth so they shut up works well.

Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

This would be a great opportunity to really fuck with his head. While speaking with him, every now and then wave to some imaginary person in the room.

No, I just dont need him to tell me "Well the reson this happened ot that happened is because of something that happened 15 years ago or because my mom whooped my ass when I needed it". Or some crap like that. I dont like shrinks and think they are a waste of time. If I need to talk to somebody I have plenty of friends that I can spill my guts to or my fience who I tell everything. I dont feel like I need to tell a man I dont even know what my problems are and think he will have the answers just because he went to college for 7 years. He doesnt know me and cannot even begin to know me in 6 sessions that are 1 hours each.

That sounds like a good one I should try.

I think OJ has a video out about anger management and preventing domestic abuse. Maybe you should check that one out.

So did you clean the douchebag's clock for wasting your time ?

I once knew some fat asshole at work who got sent to anger management after he pulled a gun on some schmo and threatened to kill him. For having cut him off in traffic. In front of the guy's kids. Big tough guy, he cried like a baby in front of the judge about losing his job, boo-hoo, etc. The candy ass judge let him off with anger management and the guy went right on being an asshole, though he didn't try the gun bullshit again. He should've gone to jail, got his bunghole fucked and taken it like a man. Anger management is a useless crock of shit and everyone but the judges know it.

Thats what we like to see open minded people using their computers to help better the world.

I'm sure the therapist is more interested in getting YOU to know you, than HIM knowing you. When you talk to your friends you get feedback based on how the person feels about you personally. A friends will most likely tell you what you need to hear at the moment, for whatever reason. This man is not invested in you. He's trained in behavioral science and maybe, just MAYBE he can help you. Who you were when you were little made you who you are today. And to be honest, it feels good to have someeone hear you without putting their two cents in. You run the risk of losing friends if you tell them 'everything'. see: argument, outburst, resentment

Let the guy do his job so you can keep yours.~~April

Just make up some crazy shit that will blow him out of the water. He might want to write a book after that.

Maybe it would be best to answer the questions truthfully and see if it helps.

Six weeks ago, we fired a guy because he went off in a meeting (again). It was the third time in a meeting and it was part of his overall persona.

"Dude, I'm from New York. I'm just assertive."
"News flash. You aren't in New York now and it is called rude."

The problem with him was, he treated others with disrespect. The other people were highly trained professionals and didn't need the attitude.

A little positive effort could improve your life in the future.

I'm on the fence on your anger management course...especially when it's mandated 2nd or 3rd party. Be openminded for the sake of getting thru it but the real "work" can be done thru another resource which I think would be more practical and helpful longterm.
Hang in there...

If he's any good, he's heard it all before and knows the difference between some two bit asshole trying to pull his chain and the real thing.

Come on you arrogant asshats? Do you really think psychology is a BS science? If you do, you're only fooling yourself. Sorry, I've no tolerance for either arrogance or stupidity, and neither does the sport for which you post on this forum. Grow up.
