10 ways to tame the anger during a conflict
- Admit the fact that you angry.
- Step back from what is happening, and mentally leave the room.
- Do not exaggerate the significance of the conflict.
- Imagine that the conflict has been exhausted, finished, like an unpleasant visit to the dentist.
- Take a few deep breaths, count to 10 and think about what consequences can turn to you this inappropriate aggression.
- Do not try to figure out the relationship with the abuser right once and for all, give yourself time to think about the situation.
- Allow a pause before something saying what’s on your mind. Perhaps a minute later, these words won’t be needed.
- Least of all at this point think of your offended pride and hurt pride.
- Emotions need to be splash out, but not your peers, children and relatives. This is best done alone, or with close friends or better trust your fury to a paper – it can endure everything.
- If none of the recommendations helped you – do not sacrifice yourself, look for a psychologist and for a new job.
