Description

When a client is experiencing anger, what do you do? Coping skills and calming techniques often only provide a temporary fix. In this workshop, you’ll learn leading-edge skills and interventions to use when anger overwhelms the body. Through examples and a real-life therapy session, we’ll break down these skills moment by moment. You’ll discover how to:

  • Help clients learn from their body how to work with their own angry emotions  
  • How to explore conscious awareness of bodily sensations without being overwhelmed  
  • Practice emotional expression with clients  
  • Work with clients to create a new experience of developmental repair
