Angry is a normal human experience, but can be productive in relationships, according to relationship expert Dr. Sabrina Romanoff. She explains that anger can be a protective emotion and can be used to identify where we are compromising our values or comfort, and where we need more healing. Anger can also provide valuable information about what matters to you and where something needs to change. Managing anger in a relationship does not need to shame yourself for experiencing it in the first place. Instead, it's more effective to name the underlying feeling and communicate it directly.
