Important issues to consider when expressing anger:
Do:
Wait until you are calm
Value the other person’s point of view (even when you disagree)
Express your feelings clearly
Offer a solution
Don’t
Blame the other person
Devalue the other person
Become confrontational
Exaggerate what has happened
Remember:
Separate :
The behaviour which has upset us
The effect on our own behaviour
The feelings it has created in us
The solution you would like
