My husband and I have a good marriage. I love him so dearly it almost hurts. We don't fight or argue often, but when we do (two or three times a year) it is a terrible blow-out. He is the kind of person who likes to take the passive/aggressive approach by walking away and giving up and I am extremely volatile and impulsive. I've punched him (only three times in 8 years, but three times is way too much, in my opinion) and always throw or break something. I feel like my anger gets the best of me and I completely lose control. Then after wards I feel so guilty and ashamed and end up with horrible anxiety attacks as a result. I hate this about myself and so bad want to fix it and learn to control my anger. I would take anger management but my insurance won't cover it and we can't afford the counseling at the moment. We do not have children yet (would like to try next year) and I would like to work on fixing this before a baby comes along. This type of violent behavior was passed down to me from an abusive mother and I do not want to display the same behaviors in front of or to my own child. Are there any of you out there who've been to actual anger management who can share some of your techniques?
I'm only seeking advice from counselors and people who've gone through REAL anger management counseling...not random advice from anyone. Thanks for listening.
