My Aversion Therapy
I really want to be serious about being consistent with this behavior therapy I thought to try on myself. It involves snapping a rubber band or giving myself an electric shock whenever I act out in anger and then logging it. I am going to try really hard to be consistent with this therapy.
If I can get through this month following my behavior therapy every single day, I will be proud of myself.
My plan is to wear a shock device every day so I can give myself the shocks.
I'd rather have the shocks then the rubber band snap. The shocks are a lot stronger, they even kind of hurt a little which is another thing I like about them.
Wish me luck. I'm wearing the shock device now.
I think this is a good therapy for me because I have a bad temper and lash out.
I really want to follow this therapy reliably and I ask that God helps me with that.
You see it can be hard to consistently follow a plan. It is easy to get off track. That's why I am determined to stay on track with this and stick with it every day.

I understand where you are coming from. Brain science tells us if we practice the desired outcome after a misstep it is more likely to occur, more like positive conditioning. It also tells us our brain wants to do rewarding things for us it is just a matter of giving it the information and not merely going on auto pilot as no new information is gained when we are in a habit loop since we aren’t really paying attention. Much success in your endeavor.

@Howdyall I don't think so. Also I like getting this therapy. I like getting shocked when I act out. It's hard to explain but some people like me actually like to be punished when they do something wrong. The shock gets me to stop what I'm doing and take a breather instead of continuing to act out. So it seems to really help.

Would a reward be a more helpful stimuli than a punishment?
