Join Joel Kouame, LCSW, MBA, CAMS-II, for an honest, practical look at how understanding anger can help both clinicians and clients unlock real healing.

Why This Conversation?

Rage often gets dismissed or feared in therapy, but it’s usually an alarm for what’s truly going on beneath the surface. In this live Clinical Conversation, Joel Kouame invites clinicians to reframe anger, not as a problem to “fix,” but as an opening to deeper resilience and healthy boundaries.

We’ll talk candidly about the ways anger can protect, signal unmet needs, and even guide client breakthroughs. Joel’s approach is both down-to-earth and rooted in practical, trauma-informed care. Bring your curiosity, your questions, and even your hesitations. You’ll leave this hour with new tools for supporting your most complex clients, and yourself.

What We’ll Cover

• Understanding anger and rage as important signals in clinical work
• How to recognize what’s under the anger, for both you and your clients
• Ways emotional overwhelm can be transformed into healthy resilience
• Techniques for communicating needs, setting boundaries, and fostering growth
• Guidance that’s as honest as it is practical

This isn’t just another lecture. It’s unscripted, real talk about the everyday challenges trauma therapists face, with a focus on what actually works.
