  1. Understanding Our Emotions

  2. Objectives Students will identify emotions through verbal and non-verbal clues Recognize the ways in which emotions impact conflict and our ability to manage conflict. Recognize their thoughts about “triggers” and how these thoughts influence their feelings. Identify reasons for developing alternative strategies for managing their anger

  3. How does your behavior affect the way you look at a conflict? What are emotions? What are some positive emotions? What are some negative emotions? What do they do for us? How can they help us? Are there some situations where negative emotions can be helpful to us?

  4. How many of you think you have trouble controlling your anger? Are you comfortable expressing anger? How do you respond when someone gets angry with you?

  5. Earlier we discussed twoways to respond to conflict - Withdrawal - AttackThey are also ways of expressing anger. They can have physical symptoms…thought it can be dangerous to repress anger that is not a justification for attacking someone in anger.

  6. To learn to deal with anger you need to recognize your own personal anger chain. There are 5 parts: Knowing what pushes your buttons (what really makes you angry) Evaluating the event (your thoughts about what has happened) Recognizing your feelings Recognizing what you do when your buttons get pushed Recognizing the consequences of your behavior.

  7. Turn to Yellow WorksheetYour Personal Anger Chain #76 Add notes under the proper category

  8. Triggers: Events that set off my own anger chain. Something unpleasant happens internally or externally and our buttons get pushed Thoughts: My own thinking about the event, which tells me how I should feel about it. Jerk! Unfair! They’ll pay! I’ll get you! Feelings: How I feel about an event, flowing from my attitudes and beliefs. Why is this event so terrible? hurt, scared, angry,etc. Take notes…. The anger chain can be thought of as TTFBC

  9. Behaviors: What do I typically do when this kind of event occurs? Run, withdraw, fight, cry, etc Consequences: What are the consequences, positive & negative, of my action? You’re grounded, suspended, punished, rejected, embarrassed, etc. Take notes…. The anger chain can be thought of as TTFBC Create a mnemonic for TTFBC and place at the top of this worksheet
