Healing Anger

12/07/2025

Do you ever feel like you’re holding everything together… but carrying more than anyone can see?

Maybe it shows up as the tightness in your chest, the exhaustion you can’t shake, or the moment you lose your patience with the people you love.

Not because you don’t care, but because you’re overwhelmed.

Many women have been taught to stay calm, stay pleasant, stay “strong”.
So instead of feeling our anger, we bury it.

And it turns into tension, anxiety, shutdown, or pain in our relationships.

Over time, that becomes exhausting. If you’ve ever thought…

“I don’t even know what I’m feeling.”
“I’m tired of being strong all the time.”

…this 6-week Healing Anger Group for Women was made for you.

Our Healing Anger Group for Women gives you space to:
👉 understand what your anger is protecting
👉 feel without shame or fear
👉 explore the deeper emotions beneath it
👉 reconnect with your boundaries
👉 calm your nervous system
👉 express yourself with compassion and confidence
👉 experience community instead of carrying everything alone

It’s about learning to befriend your anger… so it becomes a source of clarity, confidence, and emotional freedom, not something that harms you or stays stuck inside.

Starting next week, Thursday, December 11th at 6:30pm PST online.

Reserve your seat (only 4 seats remaining)

A quick look at the science of the vagus nerve.

ℹ️🌿 VAGUS-INFORMED THERAPY CREATES CONDITIONS FOR A PERSON TO HEAL FROM TRAUMA |

The trauma field has seen a sharp increase in interest by researchers and clinicians alike within the past 25 years or so. Many factors contribute to the interest in trauma research. One factor may be the impact neurophysiology has had on trauma research.

In an attempt to respond to biological naturalism which includes reductionism, emergent scientists like Dr. Porges, Schore, and van der Kolk claim that trauma should be acknowledged equally, while considering etiologies of psychological suffering, along with its biological and physiological substrates.

Trauma has been shown to adversely impact the physiological properties of an organism. The main property that I plan to focus on, in this article, is the vagus nerve.

Using a blend of somatic practices, creative expression, and integrative psychotherapy, we’ll explore emotional regulation, deepen body-based awareness, and reconnect with the inner wisdom that already lives inside you. 🌿 In this intimate and supported space, you will co-create a personal emotional map, a powerful tool crafted through art, body-awareness, and group dialogue. We will map what lives within to help you better understand your Window of Tolerance (Learn more about this in our latest blog), track emotional patterns, and build compassionate strategies to meet yourself with clarity and calm, especially in moments that used to feel overwhelming.
