Once upon a time, some therapists coached clients to handle conflict by naming emotions--i.e. I feel --anger--when you did that.

My therapist said that to me I feel --anger--that you're terminating. My internal dialogue was flippant, but I didn't express that aloud for fear I would provoke the therapist to feel any more --anger. I think she expected me to halt in my tracks and the seas to part. Madam feels anger.

My example of this absurdity is "I feel anger when you pour soup over my head." It distances and narrates the emotion rather expresses its immediacy.
In my opinion, the "I feel anger" device in a conflict makes one sound like a robot.
