In today's episode of ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen are examining passive-aggressive behavior. They start the episode by sharing the different types of passive-aggressive behavior and examples to accompany each type. Emmalee and Jen explain where passive-aggressive behavior might stem from, and how to better understand it if we're engaging in it or if someone is being passive-aggressive with us. They answer your questions like: why we fall into this behavior, how to gently call someone out for being passive-aggressive, what to do if someone gets defensive, the difference between sarcasm and passive aggression, why it shows up within the mother-in-law relationship dynamic quite often, and so much more! Emmalee and Jen do some role playing and enactments to share tangible ideas for being direct in the face of passive-aggressive behavior. Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action!
