ABOUT THIS MASTER CLASS
In this session, we will work with the often-avoided theme of anger and up-regulation. Somatic approaches to wellness often heavily emphasize down-regulation, calming, and soothing while stigmatizing higher-intensity nervous system states as pathological or unwanted. But high arousal states and anger are powerful, essential tools not only for survival, but for relationship building and repair as well. Participants will leave with a "toolkit" of somatic practices and relational frameworks that they can use to affirm, explore, and healthily discharge anger in their own lives and work.
