Try: Allow the cr to vent any repressed anger to get it out into the open where it will be easier to deal with sharing or validating the cr’s anger will sometimes be all it takes to ease the difficult behavior once a specific situation is identified try to find a workable solution for example if the cr is frustrated because of an inability to dress independently allow him or her to select the clothing choices if preparing a meal is no longer an option ask the cr to help choose the menu and assist with setting the table try to always use positive words and maintain a positive tone when dealing with passive aggressive behavior this may diffuse the anger before it becomes unmanageable passive aggressiveness is a unhealthy response the cr has to a specific situation or person if this response is directed at you it helps if you do not take it personally
