Anger, Boundaries and Safety

Standing forward on our own behalf to create the life we want

Few emotions are more feared than anger. While some use the fear associated with unsafe, unboundaried anger expression to control, others mitigate their lives by continually trying to avoid any hint of anger. With either approach, the emotional constriction, physical dis-ease, and relationship dysfunction that result are life diminishing. Anger is a natural feeling that exists in all of us and when expressed in a safe, boundaried manner is passionate, life enhancing, and relationship constructive.

Here's a link to a short video featuring Joann Peterson about Understanding Anger from The Haven Learning Library.

You can also read about Tina Boehm's personal experience at Anger, Boundaries and Safety in this article from the Haven Shen Blog archive.

Format: The program offers participants opportunities to both express and witness the expression of, safe and boundaried anger. Initially developed by the late Joann Peterson, the program follows a progression: uncovering the participants beliefs about anger, a discussion about the origins of anger and it’s varied spectrum of expression, and finally a gradual exploration of the participants own energetic patterns and opportunities to experience various tools for anger expression.
