Anger is the response you have when you sense or perceive that you're being attacked. That attack can often be verbal but it can also be physical, emotional or behavioral.
Passive-Aggressive behavior by someone can be the source of that attack against you and an angry reaction on your part may result.
So what is Passive-Aggressive behavior? This behavioral type sounds passive but is actually hostile in nature. Sarcasm or other hostile gestures may be used against you to get the attacker's point across.
I recently heard an enlightening example of this behavior from a psychologist friend: Passive-Aggressive behavior is akin to a large dog running up to you and while standing on its hind legs, its front legs on your shoulders, his tongue licking your face, he urinates on your leg!
The Passive-Aggressive individual does something nice for you then causes you grief by hurting you. That hurt is the attack. And your anger is the response. Then they'll stand back and say something like, "I didn't mean that!"
Passive-Aggressive behavior is bad, hurtful behavior when you are the recipient or the perpetrator. In an Anger Management program taught by a Certified Anger Management Coach you will learn the techniques to counter this behavior in an effective way without anger.
