Dealing With Anger

When someone is angry and lashing out at you, as hard as it may be, don't take it personally. It's not about you; it's about what is going on inside of them. When dealing with an angry person, realize that anger is the result of two emotions: fear and/or pain.
It's very important to be mindful of your intention when asking this question. Make sure you're asking from a place where you truly want to heal instead of hurt and bring light instead of more anger.


If you're feeling angry yourself in the encounter, it's best to walk away until you've had a chance to regain your composure. In that case, it's more helpful to ask yourself, "How am I hurting and/or what am I afraid of?"


It's a powerful question.
