Dealing with Anger in Relationships

How to Deal With Anger in Relationships | Psychology Today

In this article, the author makes excellent points about the ways we often damage our relationships with unhelpful ways of dealing with our anger. "A perceived lack of care or love leads to hurt…and hurt leads to sorrow…and being stuck in a place of hurt and sorrow leads to frustration, a desire to retaliate, anger, and aggression. And on it goes…but it never gets you what you want." In TEAM-CBT, we look at our responsibility for creating the relationship problems that are bothering us. It can be especially helpful to look at how our "should statements" about others can be questioned, which can be a way of cooling our anger.
