9.5 Example of a Free Relaxation Script
Relaxation to Deal with Anger
This guided relaxation script describes how to deal with anger
quickly and effectively in the moment. Guides you in controlling
anger and managing anger when it arises.
It's time to take a break.... and relax.... to deal with anger in a
healthy, productive way.
Anger is a normal and natural emotion, and there is nothing wrong
with having feelings - you are human, after all. You have the power
to decide how to deal with this emotion you are experiencing.
Anger management does not mean holding anger in. It does not
mean that you will never feel angry. Anger management is managing
the behavioural responses that can arise when you are feeling angry.
All you really need to do right now is take a few moments just to
relax, for you, to help you feel relaxed and calm. It feels good to
relax. After this short relaxation session is over, you can proceed
with your day, and react in a way that you choose.... relaxing for a
moment now will help you to react calmly, rather than acting out of
emotion.
It's okay to be angry. Just allow yourself to feel however it is you are
feeling right now, noticing this feeling, but not reacting just yet. All
you're doing is observing. Emotions are neither right nor wrong...
they just are.
Take a deep breath in. Hold for a moment, and now breathe out.
Breathe in... hold that tension.... and now breathe out.... feeling the
tension release with your breath.
Breathe in.... and out.......
