The Narcotics Anonymous meeting which I attended was named 7 Days of NA which was located on 1212 North Wolfe Street at an organization called Dee’s Place. Just as the Alcoholic Anonymous meeting previously attended, the location appeared to be in a covert and quiet place to hold a support group. We entered through the rear entrance, which seemed to be staged that way to secure participants identity. As before at the last support group I attended, I searched around the room to see again, a 12 steps guide posted on the wall, a relatively thick NA ‘Basic Text’ textbook on the desk of the facilitator and this

Some studies have shown that techniques geared toward facilitating emotional changes at the affective level produce more powerful and beneficial changes than those focused at the cognitive level alone (Watson & Rennie, 1994). However, by exploring the various characteristic of CBT and EFT, it can lead us to a more integrative and eclectic approach to anger management.

Anger in a business setting can cause one to act inappropriately or unwisely by blowing an incident out of proportion and possibly irrevocably damaging a career. Learning that at any moment we have the ability to consciously control our anger is empowering but not that easy to accomplish. Goleman asserts the body’s chemical reaction to stressful situations, relating back to our ancient ancestors, is the reason for this difficulty. The introduction of hormones into the body is not a gradual elevation, but a quick release relating back to our basic fight or flight response to environmental dangers. Every day, hormones are incrementally released into the body with each passing taxing stressful episode until a level is reached that triggers anger. He offers two weapons against anger outbursts. The first is method is to recognize, as early as possible, what is triggering the anger. This disruption of the anger

Attempts to define “emotion” have proved to be rather difficult. Instead of searching for a comprehensive definition, Gross (2011) describes the three core features of emotions. First, emotions occur when an individual decides that a situation is relevant to his or her goals. Second, emotions are multi-faceted, and involve both subjective and physiological experiences, as well as behaviors. The third feature involves the authoritative nature of emotions. They have the powerful ability to interrupt ongoing processes, assert their priority over other activities, and force their way into awareness. For example, some traditions describe emotions as “disorganized interruptions of mental activity” (Salovey & Mayer, 1989). Emotions are such an

I also took an assessment on Mindtools. I like that website. I hear what you are saying when you find yourself having negative emotions that sap your energy levels and can get me off track. I never used to be that emotional when I was younger. However, I am 50 and I feel I can off track real easily. When I was younger, I would let people say whatever they wanted and I would just hold it all in and never respond. Now that I am 50, when someone says something most times, I strke back as they say. It is good and bad. I feel keeping your emotions in is very unhealthy. On the otherhand, always speaking your mind can be get you in to some deep waters. I am learning to control my emotions, but it is much easier said then done right? I would

Our parents raise us hoping for us to develop certain character traits, but there comes to a point when we start to become our own person based on the experiences we go through, any situation, good or bad, can influence our personality mentally and emotionally. Emotion is what makes us human, it's how we cope and how we manage our crazy lives’. When our feelings get damaged or even nourished, it will change how we react

Goal: Decrease overall intensity and frequency of angry feelings, and increase ability to recognize and appropriately express angry feelings as they occur.

When I feel anger a strategy I use or would like to implement in future situations is to control my anger and not to say what it is in my mind.

On May 28, 2013 an East Mesa Justice of the Peace Mark Chiles was accused of shoplifting at a local Wal-Mart on Greenfield Road. Mesa police said the store’s surveillance video shows Judge Chiles when he removes from the packaging a portable speaker for an iPod and he places it inside his jacket and was also seen by an undercover security officer when this was happening.

PER REPORTER: Fredreze has being living from house to house since 12-8-2015. The reporter said Fredrick (dad) puts and locks Fredreze out of the home because he said the child is disobedient and just being mean towards the child. However, Fredreze said it’s because of him not like Kyra (Fredrick’s girlfriend).

Fredrick told the reporter if the child comes back to the home he was going to call the police. Per reporter she is concerned that Fredreze will get killed because so much is going on. It is unknown by the reporter where Fredreze

For the Emotions Daily journal experiment, I made notes to record how I am feeling when I wake up. When I wake up early in the morning I am in a bad mood. I’m just not a morning person at all. If I wake up in the afternoon I feel more refreshed and less moody. When I wake up in the evening I feel very good and am I feel like the rest of the day is going to be good. In this experiment I realized that I cannot control my emotions too well. If I wake up not feeling good then, I have a strong feeling it’s just not going to be a good day at all. However, when I wake up feeling rejuvenated I feel today is going to be a good day. Some things that I learned in emotional processing is that I realize my feelings are important to me. I need to acknowledge my emotions more and take the time out to understand how and why I feel like this. I tend to let my emotions come out freely. I need to learn how to control my emotions more and express them better. Some people notice that my emotions get the best of me. If I woke up on the wrong side of the bed, most likely it is definitely going to be a bad day. If I have a bad day, then I probably will say something mean to someone else and ruin their day as well. I’m going to start working on my emotional expression, and display my feelings better. Maybe if I try to wake up with a smile more often I’m pretty sure that my emotions will start improving.

In A Judgement for Solomon: The d’Hauteville Case and Legal Experience in Antebellum America, Grossberg outlines the complex legal experiences of the d’Hauteville family and the effect their experiences have on Antebellum America. On August 22, 1837, Ellen Sears and Paul Daniel Gonzalve Grand d’Hauteville were married and moved to Switzerland. In the winter of 1838, Ellen became pregnant and pleaded with Gonzalve to let her return to America to give birth to her child. After much pleading, Gonzalve gave in and let Ellen leave; however, after giving birth, Ellen refused to return to Switzerland, citing cruel treatment from Gonzalve as her reason for staying away. Eventually Ellen

Try this cbt exercise now: Think of a time earlier in the day or in the past couple of days when you felt some kind of emotional upset, such as anxiety, sadness or anger. Now, try to remember what you were thinking about at the time. As you recall your thoughts during this event, you may become more aware of automatic thoughts that were going through your mind that you had not noticed at the time. Identifying your automatic thoughts helps you to clarify the nature of the resulting emotion and understand why the situation was so

Learning to control an emotion such as anger and use it to effectively communicate and identify my needs, is helping me establish a strong sense of self.
