Description
In this session, “Skills to Release Toxic Anger: Transforming Anger into Love,” participants will learn skills for helping clients decrease and transform three forms of toxic anger: suppressed anger, aggressively expressed anger, and passive-aggressive anger. All three have a negative impact on physical health, threaten intimacy and interpersonal relationships, and lead to self-esteem issues, negative self-talk, and guilt.
Particular emphasis will be placed on teaching grounding exercises that help one to remain rational when aroused, strategies to raise the energy vibration in order to transform the heavy energy of toxic anger into the light energy of positivity, and methods to communicate anger in safe and reasonable ways, without blame or viciousness.
It’s also important for participants to develop skills that help them become less reactive to toxic anger when it's directed at them. The session will highlight Dr. Karyne’s seven steps to anger transformation.
