r-a-g-e workshops for women in London UK


Hi, I'm Corinne and I hope you enjoy exploring this website.

If you are interested in individual sessions, please go direct to my counselling and psychotherapy website at lovinglivingbeing.co.uk for details



FOR WEEKEND WORKSHOPS PLEASE READ ON


It is not always easy for us women to admit that we have a problem with anger especially if getting angry is associated with shame, feeling bad or confused. We may become afraid of what might happen if we show our anger and as a consequence we hold back and our anger remains a mystery to us. Denying our anger prevents us from expressing ourselves authentically, we don't say what we mean nor communicate as effectively as we would like and all of this limits us from reaching our full potential.

When we learn to experience our anger as a positive emotion, the way then becomes clear for us to express that anger in a constructive way and relax in the knowledge that our anger is a healthy and helpful aspect of our unique selves.

Finding effective ways to transform our relationship with our anger is precisely the reason why I have developed these anger workshops specifically for women to enable us to grow into ourselves as women and make choices as to how we want to express ourselves creatively, joyfully, powerfully and passionately.

Are you ready to explore your anger, discover that you are not alone and join with other women in investigating your relationship with this incredibly powerful and often misunderstood emotion called anger?

I would encourage you to read on to see if r-a-g-e workshops or individual sessions are the right way forward for you.


" THE MOST COMMON WAY PEOPLE GIVE UP THEIR POWER IS BY THINKING THEY DON'T HAVE ANY " Alice Walker


By exploring issues that affect women in particular, this workshop goes beyond the territory most anger management groups and courses provide. The thinking behind Anger Management suggests that somehow it is wrong to feel angry and that it is a dangerous emotion and should be controlled, whereas r-a-g-e workshops for women highlights the advantages and strengths in tapping into the power of anger to enable us to grow into ourselves as women and make choices as to how we want to express ourselves creatively, joyfully, powerfully and passionately.

How would it be if we learnt to see our anger as a helpful, life giving emotion that can flow freely and give us energy to move forward creatively with our lives?

Anger is simply an emotion, yet it is often confused with aggressive behaviour, but they are not the same. Once we understand that aggression is a learned behaviour and is neither the only, nor the most effective way of expressing anger, we can start to make choices about how we respond when we feel angry.

We know we have a right to express ourselves and for our voices to be heard. By getting to know our anger better and finding strength in this healthy emotion, we can become more accepting of all of our selves which is the first step in being accepted by others and reigniting our capacity to grow.

We all need relationships, yet the fear of losing them or upsetting someone close to us can hold us back from saying what we mean. By not communicating honestly, we can end up staying in situations that are damaging us or increasing our frustration. Alternatively we may turn the pain we feel back on ourselves or onto others in a harmful way and find that our health is affected or relationships become difficult to sustain.

Once we can learn to identify our needs and express these clearly and directly we can regain our confidence in effectively resolving conflicts and setting our personal boundaries. This in turn empowers us to exercise choice in who we wish to be in relationship with and learn to maintain only healthy, nurturing relationships and have the strength to leave behind those that limit our potential.

ANGER IS A NATURAL, HEALTHY EMOTION SO WHY IS FEELING ANGRY SUCH A CHALLENGE FOR A WOMAN?


  • Women are supposed to be nurturing, soothing, harmonious care givers so where does anger fit into that identity?

  • The messages we receive throughout our lives about women expressing anger are rarely positive and this can have a profound effect on us as we grow up.

  • We have few models of healthy feminine expression of anger so how can we learn to do this for ourselves?

  • Angry women are powerful women and in her power she is rarely welcomed and often intentionally disempowered by being belittled, labeled as 'trouble, ignored, shouted down and blamed for being the 'problem'.

  • As a result of the above, silencing our anger can become a safer choice than expressing our true feelings

  • If anger from the past remains unresolved it can erupt in the present leaving us with a sense of guilt, frustration, powerlessness or confusion.


    WHY A GROUP FOR WOMEN ONLY?



    When we look beyond the personal and consider the power dynamics between men and women throughout history and in the world at large, it comes as no surprise to find that women have a lot to feel angry about. We can feel safer exploring our unique feminine experiences in depth in a space without men present but most of all women together have much more fun!
