Anger Management Communication Skills Anger management communication skills can be a life saver if you can implement them when needed. I will show in this article an excellent technique to help you neutralize anger that may have developed during your day. This technique is called silent empathy or silent understanding what another may be experiencing. While the focus is on them, you are also benefiting because it will calm you down, even if you have become irate. Then you can communicate in a functional state of mind. If you are in a dysfunctional state you will not communicate successfully. Stress Reduction: Take a few deep breaths to receive relaxing oxygen into your body. We usually breathe shallow when we are under stress and need this oxygen to replenish our cells. Anger Management by Focusing on their Needs: Ask yourself, What needs the other person is needing. These needs can be to be understood, ease, calm for themselves, financial stability, hope. or just fun. There is a needs list at the website listed below. This is the key to calming down. This process is also a method to under sand the other person and build more trust. We now see them as human and not an enemy image. This change is important to further communications as we can not communicate with resentment. Example: Using this Anger Management Skill for Stress Reduction: Somebody says something that makes me angry. It is upsetting and I want to defend myself. I would defend myself in the anger mode. We all know anger does not work. Maybe it works but not for long as we will pay for this type of communication later. Instead, I shift into silent empathy mode. I guess that this person may be wanting consideration for their time, respect, maybe understanding how difficult their day is. These are just guesses using needs. I take a deep breath and my anger is gone. It has not fixed the situation, yet I am now ready to communicate without anger. This is the goal by connecting with their needs. Try this now with someone you had an a argument with and see how powerful this method can be.
