Deep dives

Avoiding Passive Aggression

Passive aggression in relationships often leads to escalation in arguments, hurtful things being said, and a breakdown in communication. Instead of using passive-aggressive behavior, it is more effective to bring a different tone to the argument. Small acts of peace, like reaching out and stroking someone's finger, can create a de-escalation and allow for a more genuine conversation. By revealing vulnerabilities and communicating wounds, a deeper connection can be formed in a relationship.
