When Anger Scares You: How to Overcome Your Fear of Conflict & Express Your Anger in Healthy Ways

Anger is a natural response that can be, if properly channeled, a powerful source of energy and motivation for growth. Some people, though, habitually shy away from their own angry feelings and potentially anger-provoking situations. When confronted with a provocative or confrontational situation, an anger avoider feels that to express anger is to risk losing control, hurting someone else's feelings, or appearing to be a rude, unlikable, or bad person. By side-stepping healthy anger expression, anger avoiders may suffer more than just frustration and resentment: panic attacks and depression, subservience and passivity, headaches and chronic pain often plague people who deny themselves a constructive outlet for their anger. With this book, first you'll learn to separate anger from rage or fear. Then you'll practice a series of simple, easy-to-follow exercises that coach you to openly express your anger and constructively address difficult people and situations. The book directs you to align yourself with your anger, using it as a tool for positive change. It helps you to set and achieve goals for constructive anger expression.

Best Anger Book Ever!

Dr. Lynch has written such a gift. I wish every man, woman and child could read it. I have been reading self help books, on and off, for over 20 years. I am not easily impressed. Dr. Lynch clearly and concisely teaches readers how to deal with anger in a healthy way. I am grateful to have found it. I sent out a mass email message to friends and relatives to spread the word about this fantastic book. READ IT! READ IT!...

Life-altering and Empowering if You Fear Anger

The book provides a safe, healthy process for anyone attempting to explore their own issues with anger avoidance.

Exellent, easy to read, enlightening, and understanding

I have been reading lots of self-help books lately and this has been one of the best. One can benefit by learning how to identify anger and use it in a constructive manner. It's written in easy to read language. The author is realistically encouraging to anyone trying to learn to vent anger properly.

A must-read if you avoid conflict, confrontation and anger

Easy to read and understand. Individual stories exemplify the many ways and reasons we learn to avoid and deny being angry. This book clearly illustrates the distinction between anger and rage, and the importance of understanding and naming what we are feeling. The writing exercises at the end of each chapter clarify how to handle our own anger, and that of others, in healthy ways.
