  • Acknowledge to yourself and to others that you have a problem with anger, abuse, and control
  • Address mental health and chemical use issues if they are present in your life
  • Come to know that, when you become abusive, you are always feeling inadequate, powerless, and unlovable
  • Realize that controlling and abusive behavior hurts you and those you love
  • Understand that anger is different from abuse and control
  • Recognize that becoming abusive is always a choice
  • Instead of blaming others, take responsibility for what you feel, how you think, and how you act

  • Remember that you can always take a time-out
  • Think about the possible consequences before you become controlling and abusive

  • Turn conflicts into positive problem-solving opportunities
  • Control, abuse, and violence are learned: Think about the messages you received from your family and from society about what it is to be a man
  • Redefine manhood as nonviolent and nonabusive
  • Take the risk to count on other men for emotional support
  • Learn to feel a genuine sense of pride by taking control of how you view the world and how you act
