ind yourself or someone you care about buckling under the weight of seemingly uncontrollable fits of anger?Are you embarrassed that your outbursts continually hurt your loved ones, friends, family, and even co-workers when you really don't mean to?Are you the parent of a teenager who goes into a type of blind fury that spins him into impulsive rage attacks causing him to destroy property?Have you tried all kinds of techniques, tips, courses, and classes for anger management, but without any real or permanent results?Do you have frequent episodes of road rage where you feel like you want to hurt the other drivers?You are not alone!According to a recent mental health study, some 16 million Americans deal with these very issues on a daily basis.And now, they have put a scary name to it:Intermittent Explosive Disorder, or IED.What exactly is IED?Simply put, it is a state of mind where a person feels so frustrated and out of control, that he physically acts out, destroying property and even hurting other people, with minimal provocation to warrant such an outburst.If you exhibit this behavior more than three times in your life (and have no other mental or physical explanations like a clinical personality disorder or neurological disease), then you are considered to have Intermittent Explosive Disorder.It is believed that IED first manifests in the teen years, and then escalates from there, as life's daily frustrations begin to take a cumulative toll over time.The Nature and Causes of Anger: Of Course We Are Frustrated!Americans, especially, are completely overwhelmed with stress.Everything from financial distress, broken relationships, peer pressure, unemployment, skyrocketing gas and food prices, war, threats of a bird-flu pandemic in which there supposedly isn't enough vaccine for everyone, poverty, car accidents, threats of"terrorism," crime, online predators…and the list goes on for miles.And none of these things seem to be in our control. And the truth is, to some degree, that is correct.Therefore, we are at a loss as to how to cope with that overwhelming sense of frustration.Enter Intermittent Explosive Disorder.Essentially, from a biological perspective, it's quite simple.Stress is everywhere.You feel that stress.Then you feel more stress.Then the pressure becomes so overwhelming that it has to sort of "escape" somehow.Like a kettle blowing off steam when it gets too hot.But that only brings temporary relief, potentially creating hurtful situations with others, and ultimately leads to…you guessed it, more anger!Therein, an actual"impulse-control disorder" is supposedly formed, called Intermittent Explosive Disorder.We become angry when we feel we are not "heard" or "seen," or that our feelings don't matter, or we feel helpless and powerless to change things. The truth is, anger is a secondary emotion, and there are emotions BEHIND your anger.Emotions that none of us want to feel—such as fear, grief, and apathy.In anger, we feel more "alive" than in these other emotions.So to keep from feeling paralyzing fear, unbearable grief, and deadened apathy, we tend to keep ourselves angry.But there is a better, healthier, and more productive way to get that same sort of quickening, and then some.The most amazing news is: just as there are emotions behind your anger, there are also emotions in FRONT of it!Emotions like courageousness, acceptance, and peace.And you can quickly and easily transform your unhealthy anger into the ultimate sense of peace and calm like you have never imagined possible by knowing how to let go of your anger.Calm in the Angry Storm:Letting Go Before Becoming an IED Statistic None of the "experts" really can say specifically what causes Intermittent Explosive Disorder.Many anger therapists are now reaching a point where they have to go back to the drawing board, and just lump IED in with all of the other psychotic and mental disorders.Do they really believe that everyone is a sociopath, just because it's a crazy world that we feel helpless to change?That's ridiculous!It is almost a contradiction that treatments like anger management courses talk about role playing and acting out the anger in a "healthy" way.That is almost begging to create a condition as intense as Intermittent Explosive Disorder.Acting out the anger can bring you only temporary relief, but it has great limitations as far as permanent effectiveness.Screaming into a pillow or hitting a beanbag with a bat can only go so far.All of the underlying issues and core reasons for your anger are still there, festering under the surface.Eventually, your IED continues to grow without proper release, with the resulting "treatments" being years of expensive and potentially embarrassing "cognitive therapy," as well as anti-depressant medications, which contain a whole host of negative side effects.The "treatment" is the same protocol for psychopaths?Doesn't that seem a bit out of balance? It is!What if there was a way that you could easily LET GO of your anger, and allow it to dissolve quickly, long before it ever turned into some kind of emotional "disorder?"The good news: there is that way; your real relief is at hand!With the all-natural and incredibly soothing Sedona Method, a simple emotional release technique you can learn in the comfort of your own home, you can take back your own personal power—and no longer be a slave to your anger.
