Why Am I Always Angry?
This workshop will explain: how our brain does anger; why we're programmed to over-react; and why, hours after an argument, you often think of all the things you should have said. You'll learn to identify triggers, an escape-strategy to avoid fights, and a model of positive-confrontation that works.
