Anger can be expressed in destructive or constructive ways. Give examples of each

Answer 1

Everyone feels anger at times, but we can choose whether to deal with our anger destructively or constructively. Destructive ways of dealing with anger include blaming, blowing up at others, or damaging property or objects. Constructive ways to deal with anger include using "I-statements" to express your feelings, trying to understand the other person's view of the situation, and trying to understand the reasons for your anger. The "energy" of the anger can be channeled into an activity such as exercising, cooking, or doing yard work. Talking to someone about your feelings, punching a pillow, and forgiving the other person are also helpful.
