Anger, Boundaries and Safety
With Greg Gurel
November 28 - December 1, 2024
In Person at The Haven
This program offers participants opportunities to both express and witness the safe and boundaried expression of anger. This is helpful for people who have previously expressed their anger violently and no longer want to do this. It is also crucial for people who say they never get angry or, perhaps because of early experiences of violence, avoid any hint of anger today. For both these groups of people, emotional, physical and relationship dysfunction may have resulted. This program will open up exciting new possibilities for you, whatever experiences of anger and/or violence you have had until now.

This 3-day interactive introduction to “understanding ourselves and others” uses the lens of psychodynamics to explore how the process of human development shapes the way we relate to others, even beginning in early childhood. By exploring our own personality patterns, including our defenses, we can learn to recognize those patterns in both ourselves and others. In our work and our personal lives, this awareness can help us be both more compassionate with ourselves, and better able to connect, engage with, and support others as whole people in all the area of our lives.
