Anger

Whether you are the angry one in the relationship or the silently suffering partner, the heat of rage can completely burn down everything the two of you have built. When a relationship stops being a matter of love and respect and becomes simply about survival, you need to drastically change your life.

Carol L. Rhodes, PhD, in her capacity as a clinical psychologist and marital therapist, recognizes that there could be many causes for toxic outbursts or pent-up passive aggression. In her new self-help guide for couples, she helps both partners realize how they contribute to the situation.

Rhodes covers

the toxic effects of anger on intimate relationships, solutions for anger management, reasons why you or your partner are unable to express anger in a healthier manner, the feelings of frustration and isolation that can emerge, the differences between healthy and destructive relationship communication, and an action plan to help get your relationship back on the right track. Rhodes uses case studies to show you that you aren't the only one struggling with this issue. Her advice and insight can be the push you need to buckle down and fix your relationship before it implodes completely.
