Noted author, speaker, and anger expert Dr. Andrea Brandt will walk you step-by-step through the transformational process that can bring life-changing wisdom to clients with issues of all types. Find out how to use anger as a key to your clients’ past and present, moving them to greater self-awareness and emotional release, and empowering them to make lasting change.
