Discover powerful CBT and somatic practices to help you release toxic anger and find lasting emotional balance.

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.

With this go-to guide, you'll also learn to:

  • Find validation in your anger and other intense emotions
  • Move past negative thinking, destructive aggression, and repressed hostility to express anger in healthier ways
  • Increase body awareness through movement and breathing practices
  • Stay grounded in moments of anger using mindfulness techniques
  • Communicate with intention and an openness to others' perspectives
  • Anger can be a powerful barometer in our lives, indicating when we care passionately about something; but too often it's misunderstood, misplaced, and mismanaged. This book will help you gain control of your anger—rather than let it control you—so you can think clearly, communicate effectively, and channel your emotions in ways that can improve your life!
