Choices in Anger

"People use a variety of both conscious and unconscious processes to deal with their angry feelings.

The three main approaches are

expressing,
suppressing,
and calming.

Expressing your angry feelings in an assertive—not aggressive—manner is the healthiest way to express anger.

To do this, you have to learn how to make clear what your needs are, and how to get them met, without hurting others.

Being assertive doesn't mean being pushy or demanding; it means being respectful of yourself and others."
