MINDFUL ANGER
Were you taught that anger is bad and to avoid it at all cost? "Not true!" says psychologist and author Dr. Andrea Brandt. "Society expects us to repress our negative emotions, but anger can actually help us get what we want and deepen intimacy with the people we care about."
Using vivid, real-life examples drawn from her three decades of professional experience, Dr. Brandt reveals how we can use anger, conflict, and mindfulness skills to transform and heal troubled relationships by making anger our friend.
Her compelling presentations give you simple, practical strategies for expressing feelings constructively, encouraging honest communication, setting and maintaining boundaries, and creating richer, more rewarding relationships with family members, friends, coworkers—and in every area of life.
The author of Mindful Anger: A Pathway to Emotional Freedom and 8 Keys to Eliminating Passive-Aggressiveness, Dr. Brandt shows how to:
- Release long-held fears about expressing anger and dealing with conflict
- Transform anger and conflict into healthy, positive relationships
Identify and eliminate passive-aggressive behavior in yourself and - others
- Create closer, more satisfying intimate relationships by using anger and conflict
- productively
- Recognize and change self-sabotaging behavior in yourself and others
- Apply simple mindfulness skills to release toxic stress and improve physical,
- mental, and emotional health
Dr. Brandt's focus on dealing with anger and passive-aggressiveness was shaped by her childhood in Chicago, where her paternal grandfather was murdered by the mafia. Because the family's anger, sadness, and despair were never fully expressed or healed, the whole family suffered, and it became her passion to help others use conflict and anger to heal family ties and strengthen business and personal relationships.
Everyone leaves Dr. Brandt's passionate, interactive presentations with simple yet powerful strategies that create clear, positive, and more honest communication in the workplace, at home, and in every area of their lives.
