Change Your Point Of View <br />
• <strong>CBT</strong> therapists will often use a technique where you look at the other person’s point of view, <br />
and a more open minded perspective on things that you might not have considered before. Then you <br />
can focus on the solution rather than the problem. <br />
Pros And Cons <br />
• Weighing up the pros and cons is another favored <strong>CBT</strong> technique. Looking at the repercussions <br />
of your anger, and whether the effects are positive or negative, or if they achieve the outcome you are <br />
seeking, may convince you to act differently when you’re angry. <br />
Acknowledge Your <strong>Anger</strong> <br />
• One of the first <strong>CBT</strong> techniques you may come across in therapy is the acknowledgement of your <br />
anger. Realising the extent of your unresolved anger, understanding why you’re so angry, and trying to <br />
slow your reactions to trigger situations are great tools to reduce angry impulses. <br />
Appreciate Your Friends And Family <br />
• Learning to appreciate those around you could be one of the very best <strong>CBT</strong> techniques. Taking <br />
some time to show some appreciation to those who have stuck by you through your anger is a great way <br />
to combat anger in the future. Cultivating a regular practice of making gratitude lists can help with this. <br />
