WOMAN'S ANGER GROUP
Tuesdays at 6:30 pm
NEW GROUP BEGINS FEBRUARY 7th!
Women’s group focusing on anger and relationships.
Our support group for women offers a safe forum in which women can find ways to transform their anger through insight, self-expression, and awareness.
This group will focus on:
- Techniques to help moderate reactive anger by learning
about our
own needs and what is behind our “upset”
- How emotions impact our body and ways we can use body
sensations
to help us become aware of our reactivity
- How to be more compassionate and empathic with ourselves
and
others.
- How to be more articulate and effective in communicating.
- Understanding and taking personal responsibility for our
perceptions and our thoughts.
- Looking more deeply at unconscious patterns and ways of
thinking
that may be getting in the way of communicating more effectively
- New ways to respond to emotional triggers in intimate
relationships, the workplace, and family by identifying and owning
feelings, setting boundaries, and communicating needs.
When anger is kept inside without a voice or when it continually erupts
it can cause great distress. When anger is expressed safely it can be a
great catalyst for change and discovery.
Through a new insight into the protection anger provides, clients will
learn to focus and witness their own wounding that precedes anger, to
stop waiting for the source of their anger to change, and to find
within themselves the strength and courage to accept the call to
action: a voice holding us accountable for our own suffering.
The primary teaching used in this workshop comes from the work of
Marshall Rosenberg and his “Nonviolent Communication” model.
Typically, clients are asked to register in 8-week cycles, which is why
the payment buttons reflect $480 for eight group sessions, and $580 for
the intake plus eight group sessions. This helps keep consistency
within group members.
If you are unsure of the amount of time appropriate for you, Rachel McDavid, the group facilitator, can help you with this on the intake session.
