Synopsis

What happens when your Anger Language meets someone else’s?

Anger rarely happens in isolation. One person withdraws while another pursues. One explodes while the other gives in. One keeps score while another absorbs the blame. Before long, two protective patterns can become a familiar—and painful—relational dance.

In When My Anger Language Meets Yours, psychotherapist Cynthia A. Dodge, Ph.D., takes the six Anger Languages introduced in Anger Languages and explores what happens when they interact. Through 21 distinct pairings, relatable vignettes, memorable illustrations, and “Try That Again” examples, readers learn to recognize the choreography behind recurring conflict and understand what each person may be protecting.

This practical, compassionate guide will help you identify troublesome interaction patterns, interrupt automatic reactions, communicate more effectively, and change your own part of the cycle—even when the other person does not change with you.

Although your Anger Language may be yours and theirs may be theirs, what happens between you is not predetermined by either one.
