Guidance Required On Anger

I'm working closely with a relative on a project, and while we generally get along, her tone of voice when discussing our work often sounds dominating, aggressive, and authoritative. This tone feels forceful and anxious, sometimes seeming accusatory, which I find triggering. Despite addressing this issue with her multiple times, it has led to heated arguments. I struggle to manage my reactions, as her tone frequently frustrates me and can even provoke anger or rage. I try to remain silent in these situations to avoid conflict, but this often feels like repression rather than a genuine resolution. When I do speak up, I'm concerned that my own frustration and irritation come through, exacerbating the issue. I need guidance on how to better handle my emotional response and communicate more effectively.
