Description

  • A pioneer in anger management will explain how to understand the cognitive, emotional and physical expression of anger from a contemporary perspective
  • Use your clients’ anger as a dynamic change agent and proven pathway to emotional healing that will transform every area of their lives
  • Engage in a highly experiential 5-step program using mindful anger to help clients identify, process and release old childhood wounds
  • Take home invaluable assessments and exercises you can use immediately with clients to deepen self-awareness, accelerate growth and strengthen relationships and self-esteem

Anger, it turns out, isn’t bad. In fact, approached with mindfulness, anger can become a uniquely powerful catalyst to growth and healing that will energize your therapy practice. 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.

Case studies drawn from real-life situations, combined with Dr. Brandt’s “let’s get real” communication style, closes the gap between seminar lecture and your daily practice. You’ll go home with a catalog of simple exercises that you can use to engage your clients in the mindful anger process on their very next visit.
