So… imagine people are telling others that the way to control their anger, is self harm. Just a little cut. A little pinch. A slap. A scrape.

But, training yourself to hit in response to anger, is just reinforcing the pathway between anger and outward aggression.They might actually be angry but they don’t express it outwardly,
