About aggression

Aggression is behavior aimed at causing harm (physical or mental), both to objects and living beings. This is a completely natural emotional state in response to a situation that concerns a person’s personal interests. Depending on the type of nervous system, people experience different frequency and intensity of aggressive states, but one way or another we are constantly faced with these sensations. This behavior — aggressiveness — is just a tool that is used to achieve its goal. Examples can be different: a girl who bites her mother, a boy fighting in the garden, a teenager slandering his peers, people gossiping in a group at work… These are definitely acts of aggression — damage has been done. What to do next? It is natural to want to maintain peace in the family, at work, in society, and to improve relationships.

It is important to find the point, the moment at which a person began to use destructive behavior, and then understand why this happened. Where could a person feel the deficit that he is now so desperate, since such intense impacts on the world around him are underway? And this main difficulty is often hidden from the person who uses aggression (or from the parents of the child who shows this aggression). When you are inside a situation, it is difficult to objectively perceive what is happening, especially if you yourself are emotionally involved. It can also be difficult to distinguish the real trigger of a situation from your assessment of this situation (or yourself).
