My frustration and anger are driving me crazy!

Adoption search and reunion are part of life and therefore not perfect. No matter how good your specific situation is, you WILL encounter frustration and anger at some point.

Frustration and anger surface easily because there are many common experiences that seem perfectly designed to bring up these feelings. Here are some common triggers.

1. A yearning for knowledge.

2. An unyielding system.

3. Family and friends who don't understand.

4. Our own confusion.

5. A reunion process which is not going well.

The good news is that anger and frustration are both high energy emotions which can be used to your advantage.

1. Frustration can uncover hidden reserves of determination.

2. Frustration can lead to new and creative problem solving thoughts.

3. Frustration can encourage a "time out" for personal care.

4. Anger lets you know when your boundaries have been violated.

5. Anger can uncover deep needs which have been ignored.

6. Anger can provide the fuel to motivate significant changes.

Learning to cope with these feelings is what coaching, and moving forward, are all about. Some of the areas that we can explore together are:

1. The realization that frustration and anger are symptomatic of other unmet needs. Getting those emotional needs met, even if not in the way you thought, will help your life become more satisfying.

2. Becoming comfortable with expressing your feelings openly and with asking for what you want is a life skill that will affect all of your relationships, including the one with yourself.

3. Practicing self care through the development of your own definition of what you need to be happy.
