Anger-outs and anger –ins both have their site affects. In my family I feel like anger-outs is hereditary. We all lash out at each other whenever we are angry. My mom is a perfect example of someone who uses anger-out. When she is angry about the kitchen or bathroom being dirty, she starts to yell out of nowhere which creates a lot of tension between her and people who live in the household. While learning different techniques on how to communicate, I stopped responding to her lash outs and started to observe her. While I observed her yelling at my stepdad for not washing the dishes, I thought of a way to help her communicate better. After she was done yelling at him, I calmly asked her if she thought there was a better way to get her message across without yelling. She thought about it for a moment and realized there was no need for such a dramatic reaction. Now, she tells me to kindly point out to her when she is going back to her old habits.
