Show Notes

• Anger is protective; the goal is anger with integrity (truth + impact + boundaries).
• Over-functioning: over-explaining, “making a case,” managing the other person’s reaction.
• Swallowing: freezing, minimizing, telling yourself it’s not worth it—breeds resentment.
• Exploding: often follows swallowing; shifts focus away from the original issue.
• Main point: these strategies are common, but they’re not integrity—they’re avoidance.
