Be Happy This Holiday Season

For some people, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s Eve, could be depressing and not so happy. Either because they’re alone, far from family and friends, or because of an unfortunate event that happen during the holidays in the past, or they’re going thru a hard time this year. Life doesn’t always happen the way we want it, but we should remember that our time on Earth is, after all, limited. So, we should try to make every moment better for ourselves and the ones around us. Addiction, anger, depression and negativity feeling can be overcome or kept under control. And when we cannot do it on our own, we ask for help. Alan Raddatz has been helping patients for years. He will help you make your holidays brighter.

Alan wishes you: Merry Christmas! & A Happy New Year!

Managing Anger

The definition of anger is a strong feeling of annoyance, displeasure, or hostility. Anger is a normal human emotion, that can be considered a healthy emotion if kept under control. Managing anger can sometimes be accomplished with a help of an anger management counselor. Uncontrolled anger can have a negative impact on both your health and your relationships. That is why you should learn to control it thru techniques that you can apply:

  • after you take a moment to calm down, analyze, discuss, express your feelings and motives that lead to your anger
  • think before you speak,
  • exercise,
  • take timeout,
  • find reasonable solutions to specific situations that may anger you.

Remember that anger, expressed in an uncontrolled way, will not fix anything and that might only make things worse.

If you are not successful in controlling your anger on your own, you should seek professional advice. Call us today 702.320.3180.
