How To Avoid Making Someone Angry

Mike Fisher (Founder - British Association of Anger Management) gives expert video advice on: How can I avoid making someone angry?

How can I avoid making someone angry?

A very effective way of avoiding making somebody angry is by acknowledging what it is that they're feeling. And the most effective way of doing that is by asking the individual, what are they feeling? If they tell you that they're feeling angry, you can ask them what they're angry about. And as you start to become aware of what the triggers are for their anger, that's one of the ways that you don't actually have to trigger their anger. But there is a problem with this, because if I'm using my anger to control you and you are finding different ways of avoiding triggering my anger, it means that you become diminished. Your needs as an individual become diminished. And it's all about me and my needs and my need to control you. So there's a very fine line that I walk. What I need to do is I need to be sensitive to the individual's triggers. It's very important, that. But at the same time is not allow their triggers to control me and manipulate me. So I also have to be very clear about what my needs are, what I'm feeling, and what I'm thinking. And I need to be able to communicate that with the individual who has an anger problem or whose anger I'm trying to avoid having triggered.
