Episode 81: The Ebb & Flow of Anger

What do YOU do when you feel angry? Is it an emotion you feel often or rarely?

For many people that I work with, anger isn’t a baseline emotion that my clients feel on a daily basis unlike worry and stress.

If you don’t often feel angry and don’t know what to do with yourself when you DO feel anger, then this episode is for you.
