<Anger Workshop>

Join me for a 4 hour evening workshop where I will help you improve your relationship with anger. Learn how to embrace your anger instead of being afraid of it. Anger is one of the most challenging emotions for most people and few know how to feel, express, and use it in ways that are beneficial to them. In this evening we will look at our attitudes towards anger and how our anger can disempower us. We will then explore different methods of expressing and witnessing anger in non-violent ways that connect us with our passion and our power. I will then show you how to use the energy of your anger to help you get what want in your life.

Here is what one participant had to say about his experience of this workshop: Thank you for the insightful and interesting workshop. I never really thought of anger as a problem with me in that I seldom get outwardly angry. What I learned was that I do have angry feelings and they can be expressed in ways that are productive, particularly saying that I am angry and why. While I may not even direct such a statement to the person with whom I am upset, it makes sense to deal with the feelings. This insight was profound for me.

Another participant writes: I found Glenn Bigonet’s workshop on anger quite helpful. What I learned is that, without an appropriate way to express anger (loudly), I tend to deny I have it. I also learned that there were various sentence stem completion exercises that could help draw up anger when I least feel inclined to own it. It was helpful to witness other people’s anger (safely) and to be given express permission to give (loud) voice to my own. I found it liberating in the moment and it gave me useful tools to take with me into my day to day life. I had an interesting thought – I am more comfortable having someone hear my sounds of arousal in intimacy (though that is pretty private) than I am having someone hear my anger or rage. Realizing how tender, personal, private and “charged” those angry emotions and expressions are was an important realization in itself. All in all, the workshop is a useful way to spend an evening. I could imagine re-doing it to retool the emotional engine and make sure that particular emotion keeps flowing and is less likely to block me. Oh, I guess there was something else I learned. I also realized that anger is an important fuel that empowers me to own my own stance in small and big matters and to be less hesitant in general. I’d recommend it.
