Understanding Our Emotions
Objectives1. Students will identify emotions through verbal
and non-verbal clues2. 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
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?
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?
Earlier we discussed two ways to respond to conflict - Withdrawal - Attack
They are also ways of expressing anger. They can have physical symptoms…thought it can be dangerous to repress anger that is not a justification for attacking someone in anger.
To learn to deal with anger you need to recognize your own personal anger chain.
There are 5 parts:1. Knowing what pushes your buttons (what
really makes you angry)2. Evaluating the event (your thoughts about
what has happened)3. Recognizing your feelings4. Recognizing what you do when your buttons
get pushed5. Recognizing the consequences of your
behavior.

Add notes under the proper category
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! They’ll pay! I’ll 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 TTFBCBehaviors: What do I typically do when this kind
of event occurs? Run, withdraw, fight, cry, etcConsequences: What are the consequences,
positive & negative, of my action? You’re grounded, suspended, punished, rejected, embarrassed, etc.
Create a mnemonic for TTFBC and place at the top ofthis worksheet
Anger seems to be the emotion that most gets us into trouble. Even if we know strategies, anger seems to prevent us from using them.
