An example of how Anger Avoidance works
Anger Management does not work because people can't stand being managed. Regardless of that fact Anger Avoidance as taught in a Manualized Cognitive Restructuring Workbook is effective. The following is an example of what an Anger Avoidance Cognitive Lifeskills Workbook would include.
Jason had a plethora of reasons to erupt in anger just as Cord did. He could have crushed bones, hit guts, striked faces, bruised breasts or kicked ribs, but he refrained from doing so.

She used up most of her life poisoning all with whom she came into contact.

She had convinced herself that they were all useless and had to be told exactly what to do. She degraded and marginalized them while pretending to be concerned and interested in their success.
