Session 3 | Beverly | In Therapy with Alex Howard

This week, we’re looking at anger. Many people believe that anger is a “bad” emotion and that it should be avoided, however feeling anger is fundamental to standing up for ourselves and protecting our boundaries. As you’ll see from today’s session, if we systematically avoid feeling our anger, it can have adverse consequences. Alex Howard is a London-based Therapeutic Coach dedicated to helping break the stigma around mental health and helping people make real, positive changes in their lives.
