Understanding Our Emotions
2
Objectives
  1. Students will identify emotions through verbal
    and non-verbal clues
  2. Recognize the ways in which emotions impact
    conflict and our ability to manage conflict.
  3. Recognize their thoughts about triggers and how
    these thoughts influence their feelings.
  4. 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 two ways to respond to
conflict - Withdrawal - AttackThey are also
ways of expressing anger. They can have physical
symptomsthought 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.

Take notes.
  • The anger chain can be thought of as TTFBC

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! Theyll
pay! Ill 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

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? Youre
grounded, suspended, punished, rejected,
embarrassed, etc.

    anger triggers?

into trouble. Even if we know strategies, anger
seems to prevent us from using them.
