Description
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!

I don’t normally read self help books, but I was enticed to read and I’m glad I did.
I personally love CBT and anytime I can get / learn new tools to help me on coping with anxiety or anger, I’m here for it - in this book you’re given a LOT of Exercises, so many in fact that I wish there a quick recap or index of just the exercises. I think this would be a great book on audio, just because you’ll want to actually do them and that’s hard to do when it the exercise begins with “close your eyes”
This is a book I’ll definitely revisit as I took away some great tips, but know there is more to be gained when put into practice.
The reason I didn’t give this book a 5 star was because the little “example stories” got to be a bit much. Sometimes they added value but other times they were just little blurbs basically repeating the point itself. I also found myself expecting an exercise or a tool only to not have one explained.
Thank you to NetGalley and New Harbinger publications for this ARC!
