Guidance for dealing with this common and frustrating type of behavior.

Many people often say “yes” to something when they’d rather say “no.” They offer cooperation through terms but follow up with how they really feel-in activities that contradict their phrases. That’s passive-aggression. At its center, passive-aggression is approximately being untrue to oneself, which makes it impossible to truly have a clean relationship with others. Passive-aggression being a conversation technique doesn’t make someone “poor.” It really is simply a technique learned in childhood like a coping mechanism, a hard-to-break habit. Changing passive-aggressive behavior needs knowledge, tools, and practice, as layed out here.

This audiobook 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 Limitations; Communicate Assertively; Interact Using Mindfulness; Disable the Enabler; and Problem-Solve for Better Outcomes.
