Anger Resolution"
Anger Resolution is a way of understanding anger, so that a person can make empowered choices towards the resolution of that anger. Along this path we will see how important language is to the understanding and communication of our feelings and needs. This requires emotional literacy/having an emotional vocabulary, and an internal emotional state that resonates with those words. And, to be able to discover/rediscover what unmet need that emotion is signaling to us, so that we can make healthy choices to bring that need back into our lives, relationship, family, etc. It is very common for a person to confuse these messages. There many confusing expectations, rules and dogmatic beliefs about what anger is and how it should be dealt with. Come explore alternative solutions.
