It\u2019s natural for us to have feelings of anger as we navigate the obstacles of life, but if left unaddressed, they can easily consume us and negatively impact our lives in more ways than one. Forgiveness, on the other hand, can help us let go of anger, improve our mental health, and maintain healthier relationships.\xa0\nTo explore these closely connected topics, we are thrilled to welcome back therapist Robyn Walser, who co-authored The Act Workbook for Anger alongside Manuela O'Connell. Through Robyn\u2019s pool of expertise and her own learning history with anger, we discuss the significance of identifying the root cause of anger, in addition to how social messages, context, and cultural influences can contribute to the way we perceive and manage it. Robyn also shows us how to react to and express anger in ways that are more effective and aligned with our core values, and how, through forgiveness, we can restore relationships and pave the way to deeper healing. Join us to glean wisdom for Robyn and embark on a journey of self-discovery and a more fulfilling life!\nListen and Learn:\xa0\n\nRobyn\u2019s learning history of anger as a child and the impact it had\xa0\n\nHow social messages, culture, and context affect how we understand, express, and perceive anger\n\nWhy do we experience anger, and why is the emotion itself not necessarily problematic?\xa0\n\nHow to recognize anger through feelings, physiological sensations, thoughts, and actions\n\nThe power of expressing anger effectively\n\nWhat does it mean to forgive others and yourself?\n\nResources:\xa0\n\nLearn more about Robyn\u2019s upcoming training on ACT for Suicidal Behavior\n\nRobyn\u2019s Healing Trauma with A T Training\n\n\n\n\ufeffThe Act Workbook for Anger by Robyn Walser and Manuela O'Connell\n\nTLConstulation Services\n\nFollow Robyn on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook\xa0\n\nAbout Robyn Walser\nRobyn D.
