Anger Management > Adult

How Learning to Manage Conflict Will Change Your Life (and the World) When we are emotionally reactive, we are not our best selves, nor do we produce the smartest outcomes. Emotional reactions create winners and losers. And winning directly at the expense of another is actually losing in disguise, due to the resentment it inspires in the loser. Often, people get stuck in a pattern of reacting emotionally, long past the time when the combativeness that once served them no longer does; long past the time when the pattern has become destructive without them being aware of it. For everyone who wants to change that part of themselves but doesn't know how to achieve that, this is the book for you.

Somatic Practices and CBT Skills to Transform Negative Thoughts, Soothe Stress, and Stay True to Yourself  Do you ever feel guilty for being angry? If so, you aren't alone. We live in a culture that doesn't support the open assertive expression of anger among women. Women and girls are often taught that we are overreacting, or just being too sensitive or unreasonable when anger arises. This bottled-up anger can then lead to inner criticism, self-doubt, resentment, emotional avoidance, and conflicts with others. This repressed anger can also cause a ripple effect throughout the body, affecting our heart, brain, nervous system, immune system, and gut. In this much-needed guide, a clinical psychologist and somatic therapist reveals how anger whether it's repressed or misdirected in harmful ways creates stress in the body and mind, and offers powerful body-based, somatic practices and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to help you let go of internalized anger for greater health, vitality, and purpose.
