Myths and facts about anger<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Myth: I shouldn\u2019t \u201chold in\u201d my anger. It\u2019s healthy to vent and let it out.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fact:<\/strong>\u00a0While it\u2019s true that suppressing and ignoring anger is unhealthy, venting is no better. Anger is not something you have to \u201clet out\u201d in an aggressive way in order to avoid blowing up. In fact, outbursts and tirades only fuel the fire and reinforce your anger problem.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Myth: Anger, aggression, and intimidation help me earn respect and get what I want.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fact:<\/strong>\u00a0Respect doesn\u2019t come from bullying others. People may be afraid of you, but they won\u2019t respect you if you can\u2019t control yourself or handle opposing viewpoints. Others will be more willing to listen to you and accommodate your needs if you communicate in a respectful way.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Myth: I can\u2019t help myself. Anger isn\u2019t something you can control.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fact:<\/strong>\u00a0You can\u2019t always control the situation you\u2019re in or how it makes you feel, but you\u00a0can\u00a0control how you express your anger. And you\u00a0can\u00a0express your anger without being verbally or physically abusive. Even if someone is pushing your buttons, you always have a choice about how to respond.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
