Anger Management For Teens: Unlocking The Secret Of Self Control

By: Baker, Karla J.

Anger is a natural and normal human emotion that tends to make its presence known in any relationship, even if it is not addressed toward the person to whom it is being expressed. Unfortunately, anger often rears its head in our interactions with those we love the most, including our romantic partners.
But passion in a relationship shouldn't mean that emotions like anger are expressed in uncontrollable ways. managing your response to an angry partner is a useful skill that can promote intimacy and maturity in any romantic relationship.
As a therapist, I often challenge my clients to think about how their reactivity in a relationship gets in the way of who they want to be as a partner.

Instead of quickly zooming out of the driveway or walking away, Let them know that it's important to you to work out differences and consider what's an appropriate amount of time for you to think and come back to them.
If your partner tends to give you the silent treatment when you've forgotten an anniversary or skipped dinner with their parents, you've probably experienced some anxiety not knowing what's going to happen. You can't make them talk to you, but you can express that you're ready to share your thoughts and work together when they're ready. Trying to coerce or threaten them into a quick reconciliation is likely to backfire and cause them to cut off even more.
