Comment: Yesterday I was in session with a a patient who was depressed over the performance of the football team that is discussed in this forum. According to him the outcome for next Monday night's game does not appear very optimistic either. You may find my advice to him beneficial, as well. One needs to pre-manage these expected bouts of frustration. Before next Monday's game discover the location of the home of the coach most responsible for the expected nationwide humiliation. Then midway through the game whilst the imbecile is making one derisory decision after another, simply pack-up the family into the car, pop over to his estate and execute his dog. Then it's off to Applebee's or some other franchised eatery for lighthearted discussions about upcoming holidays and school activities. When anger is dealt with by a brief and proportional act of unbridled violence followed quickly by a wholesome activity it almost always gives rise to closure and an emotionally healthy individual.
