The best way to deal with anger
... is to let it all out.
You might be wrong.
Although venting anger may make people feel better for the moment, it won't help them get any better. Letting it all out does not resolve the underlying issues. In fact, it tends to bring out those same feelings in others, increasing both people's anger.
The Dance of Anger
It is our job to state our thoughts and feelings clearly and to make responsible decisions that are congruent with our values and beliefs. It is not our job to make another person think and feel the way we do or the way we want them to.
--Harriet Goldhor Lerner (1985)
Have you read The Dance of Anger? It's really good. For me, hehe :D
