$700 Billion Bail Outs and Other Stresses

If Secretary of Treasury Henry Paulson isn't already a household name to you, than certainly Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, and Goldman Sachs must be. In fact, in light of these Wall Street investment institutions which have dominated the news headlines recently and the overall fallout of the financial market collapse, now more than ever is the best time to guard against growing angst, feelings, and frustration that result from disturbing news reports and unfavorable turn of events. Whether we're responsible for large groups of employees, or we're individuals grappling with change, know that many of us are frustrated and unsure about our future and our place in it. For those of us struggling with anger management, a simple CNN headline stating escalating oil prices, or the most recent corporation laying off staff, is enough to ignite hateful arguments at home; spark a confrontation on the job; or lead to a dangerous road rage incident. Thanks to the work I am proud to be part of through the Anger Management Institute (AMI) people are finding remarkable tools that enable them endure living through uncertainty and difficult times. Information about anger management is available by contacting Yacine Bell, www.aaamp.org. To reach Ms. Bell directly, please call to 510-393-0250 or email her at aminstitute@gmail.com.
