Module 5: Anger & Communication

Anger can communicate that something matters but how we express it matters, too.

In the final module of Brave Step’s Navigating Anger series, learn how calm, direct communication can help you express anger with clarity and courage. We explore first-person statements, active listening, clarification and validating feelings without necessarily agreeing.

You don’t need to be a counselor to make a difference; these are practical tools for everyday life.

You’ll also learn how to:

Set boundaries and say no without guilt
Distinguish assertive communication from passive, aggressive and passive-aggressive communication
Adapt communication tools to your values and cultural context
Recognize anger as a possible signal of unmet needs
Support someone experiencing anger without judgment
