They literally just threw the concept of "anchors" away to replace it with this stupid montra because they wanted control to be such a big deal in season 4. Erica, Boyd and Isaac all figured out their anchors and therefore learned control pretty quickly. But since control was a major theme in season 4, they introduced the useless  triskelion  object and a bunch of different montras. I was surprised that Scott didn't talk to Liam at all about anchors, considering that anchors have been a huge part of control for the first three seasons. Boyd and Erica never found their anchors or at least they never showed it only Isaac I think it was implied that they did. At that scene, all three of them were finally calm, then Derek asked Isaac what his anchor was. He probably asked Erica and Boyd before or would have done so if he got a chance to tend to them next but Lydia kidnapped him. I dont remember anchors really being that big a part of season 3. Also Derek is one wolf and the one who taught scott. Just because thats his way by no way means that that is the only way to learn control. To be honest that seems a kind of horrible way to learn control. Having to focus on either a strong emotion or a person.
