The Truth About Passive-Aggressiveness

Passive-aggressive behavior can feel safe, satisfying, even virtuous or clever, to the person practicing it, which is part of why so many people use it without recognizing it.  Its effect on others, however, can be irritating, infuriating, destabilizing, even crazy-making.  It may give us some satisfying moments or protect us from having to risk sharing our real thoughts, feelings, and boundaries, but it can prevent our relationships from being truly satisfying in the long run.  It can even destroy them.  Today Cinthia discusses what passive-aggressiveness is, why it develops, how it impacts people, and what to do if you or someone in your life tends toward it.  To dive deeper into the message of each podcast, we've created a study guide for each episode.
