Anger

Anger

Anger can be seductive. Anger can be destructive. Anger can ruin your life and relationships.

Are you running away from anger? What’s your relationship with it?

What’s a healthy way of dealing with your anger? How compassion can help you with your anger. And no, sadly punching a pillow is NOT a good way to release your anger.

  • The purpose of anger
  • Anger as a primary emotion
  • What’s underneath anger
  • and so much more
