It will provide the tools to take back your life and resolve the triggers that result in unplanned anger reactions.

Anger is one of our most important emotions, but sometimes it can go awry. This is usually a sign that something else has gone wrong, meaning that anger is usually a secondary issue. . Sometimes it's a defense against depression or anxiety. Other times it is related to unacknowledged claims and demands that have been made on you by your inner life. When working with anger, the first thing I want to know is what's underneath it. Another aspect of anger is the way it can spread into a generalized resentment of life and create not only bitterness but become quite toxic, eroding our feeling life. This kind of generalized anger is usually treated by reconnecting to the truth of our life.
