Understanding Anger

Anger is an emotion designed to alert us to something that needs our attention. However, it is often misunderstood, and hard to talk about and deal with.

When safely expressed, anger can help us to de-stress and become calm and assertive. However, suppressed anger often gets expressed destructively which impacts our relationships and can lead to mental health issues.

This workshop explores all aspects of anger so you can begin to understand this emotion better:

· What it is and what its purpose is

· How anger can both support and defend us

· What can trigger anger

· What happens in our brain and body when we feel angry

We will also spend time exploring your own experience of anger so you can begin to understand the different levels of anger and what other emotions it may be masking. We will also share some simple activities that can ‘protectively interrupt’ your anger once it has been triggered and help you express it in a safe way.
