In your journal, write about any positive ways that you or others have expressed anger or positive ways you would ‘like’ to see anger expressed.
If you were creating safety rules around the expression of anger, what rules would you include? Would you include rules such as no physical or sexual violence, no verbal abuse, no put downs and no yelling? Would you use time out when tensions become heated?
From your list of rules, being to draw up a positive list of how you would like to expressed; for example, ‘I would like anger to be expressed only in a discussion when people are relatively calm, with a time out rules if tensions rise too much (such as voices become raised) – anyone who is angry should non-violently (no door slamming or yelling) leave the room to calm down before she/he can rejoin the discussion or the discussion should be rescheduled for another time to let tempers cool.
