Brought to you by the Trauma Therapist Institute (TTI)
Sometimes, what looks like anger on the surface runs much deeper beneath. Join us for an honest conversation that reframes rage as a powerful signal, and explores how clinicians and clients can harness it for true healing.
Why focus on rage and resilience?
Rage, when misunderstood, can harm relationships and well-being. This discussion helps reframe anger as a catalyst for growth and connection -empowering both therapists and clients to transform struggle into strength.
In This Conversation, We'll Explore:
- Why rage is often misunderstood in clinical and personal contexts
- How anger can serve as a guardian for unmet needs
