On the other hand, we can’t physically lash out at every person or object that irritates or annoys us; laws, social norms and common sense placelimits on how far our anger can take us. 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.
