The Anger ‘Iceberg’ : Signal or Saboteur?

Anger is an emotional signal. Are you using it effectively? Or replaying and holding on to anger?

Anger elicits brain and body responses that can be beneficial in the short term but, when continually surging, they can negatively impact health, sleep, focus, and relationships.

This workshop includes:

• the steps that cardiologists, the Gottman Institute, and Meichenbaum’s Stress Inoculation Training (SIT) recommend we employ to cope most effectively through situations that activate our anger cues brain/body approaches for shifting out of an endless loop of persistent uncomfortable / unproductive anger
• Learn tips from cardiovascular research to enhance health & coping through anger events, practice some self-calming exercises, and bring your questions to the Ask Me Anything section.

This free public workshop on International Stress Awareness Day meets online from 7:00 - 9:00 pm on Wednesday, November 4.
