When we are angry, we may feel like shouting, when we are afraid or anxious, we may want to leave the place we are in as soon as possible, we may not want to go back to a place we are ashamed of. Unfortunately, these behaviors of ours do not bring a solution to the problem we are having or make us feel at ease. At this point, we recommend a new behavioral model to our clients. Do not take contrary action. It will not be easy to express your anger quietly when you are very angry, that is, to act not as you feel like but the opposite, but if you express your anger calmly when you are angry, your chances of being understood by the other party will increase. When you share what you feel in a calm tone of voice, you have the chance to express your sadness and calm down. We may hesitate to act in this way.
Taking the opposite action may not be an easy task, but we can say that it is a great technique in terms of replacing depressing emotions with positive emotions. When we do the opposite of what we feel like in areas where we have problems, fear will be replaced by not being afraid, anger will be replaced by feeling calm, shame will be replaced by not being ashamed. The opposite action strategy brings miraculous results in managing emotions.
