Understanding and Managing Anger:

Contrary to what most people think, anger has a useful purpose in our lives. It's just that most people have no idea how to constructively deal with their anger. In this lesson, I explain what's behind anger and how we can begin the process of learning how to use anger constructively. There is a middle ground between being aggressive, controlling and abusive and being a doormat, people pleaser and victim. It is possible to use anger to say "no" to everything that doesn't serve you, while at the same time respecting the rights of others. In this first of two lessons on anger, I lay the foundations for learning how to set healthy boundaries and communicate the hurt that is behind angry feelings without judgment or blame.
