Talking Under The Influence: How to Communicate When You're Angry

We all know how frustrating talking can be when you're mad. We know how it goes. You try to get your point across and the other person just doesn't get it. Even though you have articulated your feelings a few different ways, they still don't seem to understand. From there, it turns into a shouting match and both of you give up and walk away. In some more serious instances, it can lead to verbal and even physical altercations. Ineffective communication is toxic to a relationship and will ultimately end in breakups, divorces, and bitterness. We know it's almost impossible to go from 100 to 0 just like that. But, there is a way to talk even in your anger.
