Are You Someone Who Throws Things When You Are Frustrated

A woman after throwing something being frustrated.

It’s a simple question, are you someone who throw things when you are frustrated? Maybe you are, maybe you’re not, but it did come up this morning on The Mike & Carla Morning Show.

Carla Rea admitted that in going to therapy, she asked what she could do with her recent frustration. Her therapist had asked her if she has ever thrown anything. Evidently it’s a great way to relieve tension, frustration and even anger.

Keep in mind, all this is done without aiming it at anyone specifically. Carla came out and said that it was not in her behavior to do something like that. However, she was willing to give it a try.

Are You Someone That Throws Something In Frustration

In fact, her therapist suggested maybe she buy plates or cups specific for breaking. Carla even thought of going to Goodwill to buy a set to have on standby.

On the other hand, if you are that person or live with someone who is a “thrower”, there’s an article that Evolve put out talking about this very thing. Good reading in how to cope when you feel the need to throw or even punch a wall.

But back to the subject at hand, quite a few listeners called in and texted in on how, or maybe we should say what, they handle their frustration.

One guy said that he simply goes to the gym and works out on the punching bad they have there. Something that Carla does as well. One other guy said going to the gun range was he way of coping.

The best one came from a woman who said she has an axe handle. When she gets a little frustrated, she just takes the handle and starts beating the fence. After a while and a deep breath later, she feels fine.

We all thought that was a great way to handle it…Carla even gave a thumbs up! As Mike O’Brian said, Christmas is right around the corner!

So, take a couple of minutes and listen to the segment from this morning…and enjoy!

Anger Management: 3 Cool Las Vegas Rage Rooms

We all get angry at times. But, how you manage that anger is what’s important.

An Anger Management Hack

If you’ve ever done any therapy with a counselor, or a psychologist, you might already know this trick: Write a letter to the person who has hurt you, or made you angry – but don’t mailing it. Just write.

Now the experts say it’s also a good anger management hack. A study found that writing about your feelings can help. But writing about them, and then shredding it, works even better.

Life, in general, is hard these days. It’s a literal pain in the ass at times! Financial frustrations, kids, family, an election around the corner. Which means political ads, and politicians getting on your last nerve!

Buy A Shredder

Angry? Go buy a shredder. It might just stop a November election-induced aneurysm. A new study found an easy way to deal with anger – at least for a bit. Just write down what you’re feeling and SHRED it.

Researchers in Japan did an interesting study. They had students submit their opinions on different things, including social issues. Like, should smoking in public be allowed?They were told that experts would evaluate their opinions and get back to them.

But they all just got the same response, which was just designed to make them mad. No matter what the students wrote, they got back: “I cannot believe an educated person would think like this. I hope this person learns something while at the university.”

After seeing the response, the students were asked to write about how it made them feel. They told some of the students to hang onto the paper, while others were told to toss or shred it. But they had to rate how angry they felt before and after they did either.

The study found just writing about their feelings actually did help a little. But shredding the paper? It made a MUCH bigger difference. The students who shredded the paper basically felt no anger at all.

So the old trick of writing it down helps. But definitely shred it. Or – I’ll bet using it as toilet paper might work too.
