That's passive-aggression. At its heart, passive-aggression is about being untrue to oneself, which makes it impossible to have a clean relationship with others. Passive-aggression as a communication method doesn't make someone \"bad.\" It is simply a strategy learned in childhood as a coping mechanism, a hard-to-break habit. Changing passive-aggressive behavior requires knowledge, tools, and practice, as outlined here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The book offers effective methods for transforming passive-aggression into healthy assertiveness to communicate in constructive ways through eight keys: Recognize Your Hidden Anger; Reconnect Your Emotions to Your Thoughts; Listen to Your Body; Set Healthy Boundaries; Communicate Assertively; Interact Using Mindfulness; Disable the Enabler; and Problem-Solve for Better Outcomes. Hands-on exercises are featured, enabling readers to better understand themselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrea Brandt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0393708462\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393708462\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
