Befriending Anger

One client remarked, "My father's anger is responsible for my trauma." Another shared, "I was never allowed to show my anger." Yet another confessed, "I've already hurt so many people with my anger." These are just a few examples of the many statements I hear as I work with clients to help them express and manage their anger in a healthy way. It is often an uphill battle, as we must first address their anxiety about feeling anger before we can begin to face the anger itself.
