Getting Over Getting Mad: Positive Ways to Manage Anger in Your Most Important Relationships
In Getting Over Getting Mad, psychotherapist and best-selling author Judy Ford shows us how to deal with anger productively.
We all have the capacity to get mad and we all have good reasons to be angry. If anger is suppressed, it will emerge in dark forms — manipulation, depression and sometimes-even violence. Getting Over Getting Mad shows us how to manage our anger, and to express anger in healthy ways.
The key to good anger management is honesty — with us. It is important that we allow ourselves to be angry, but it is equally important to move on. Anger has two sources: the situation at hand and the inter-rooted in past experience. Once we acknowledge our anger and understand its roots, we can begin to manage this difficult and frightening emotion.
In Getting Over Getting Mad, Judy Ford examines anger's effect on our most intimate bonds. Our intimate relationships are an excellent school of self-knowledge. Anger, and the conflict of a relationship — arguing — can become an intimate form of discussion and can help two people become closer.
