Kameela's Workshop:

​

Anger agility, goes beyond anger management to explore how to connect with the felt sense of anger in the body, as well as strategies for processing anger including how to mobilize/release anger.

We will explore the impact of suppressed anger in the body. Then, process the difference between anger needing  mobilization versus residual anger that may need to be further processed and released.

Exploring mobilizing helps us develop more intentional effective communication strategies instead of dysregulated communication or  suppression that may lead to emotional explosion/implosion, and other mental health issues.
