How to Challenge Your Anger

I have every right to be angry. Maybe. Going over it again and again is a different thing. This exercise shows you how to challenge the beliefs behind your anger rumination.

The aim

Challenge one belief behind your anger rumination, and end with a self-talk.

What you get

  • Two worked examples with ten counter-arguments each
  • Your own belief, step by step
  • A self-talk to finish
  • Sent to your email.

From my researchIn my research, going over anger-provoking situations had the second strongest association with breakup grief.
