Men who slam doors and furniture are making sure you hear how much they want to hit you.
No. They are using a completely responsible and non-harmful outlet for their anger. This shows how much they don’t want to hit you. Some people even purchase actual punching bags to have a permanent outlet at home or join a material arts club. These are healthy coping mechanism often encouraged and approved by therapists. Also, needless to say it’s not exclusively men who do this.
I’m a few months from my liscense to practice therapy, and I already do in supervision. No, slamming doors and throwing around furniture is not a recommended technique by any well-trained up-do-date therapist. Doing this with someone else around is creating at atmosphere of intimidation. Literally I have been over every single one of these points for years, you can check my #door slam post tag. I’ve replied to all these points many, many times over.
Anyone with a basic knowledge of social psychology or neuroscience knows that neurons that fire together, wire together. If you respond to something with anger, you’re more likely to keep responding to things with anger. No competent therapist would tell a patient to respond with violence- that’s literally just making you more prone to violence.
