Hilary Jacobs Hendel | The Change Triangle

ON-DEMAND WEBINAR (2.5 hours)

Using Anger Constructively In & Out of Psychotherapy

$69 USD

 

Webinar information:

Therapists and patients alike struggle with anger. Therapists need tools and emotional capacity to withstand their patient’s anger, they need tools to give their patients to recognize and use anger constructively, and they need to understand the difference between core and defensive anger. I love helping people with anger because anger is typically so hurtful and damaging but with knowledge and a few tools anger is better used with wisdom and thoughtfulness.We don’t get enough education in our formal schooling on how to use anger as a catalyst for change. When we bury it, we get depressed and anxious. When we unleash it, we harm our cherished relationships.

​

Join me, Hilary Jacobs Hendel, AEDP psychotherapist, supervisor, psychoanalyst, and author of the award-winning book "It’s Not Always Depression: Working the Change Triangle to Listen to the Body, Discover Core Emotions, and Connect to Your Authentic Self" (Random House & Penguin UK) to learn a new model for understanding and working with anger. Transform your work and yourself in this webinar for beginners and experienced clinicians and wellness professionals.

​

This course will provide an education in how anger works in the mind and body. Participants will learn how to use the Change Triangle, a psycho-educational tool and roadmap for creating positive neuroplasticity and brain integration that leads not only to symptom management but actual healing. Using a combination of didactic slides, real-time experiences, and videotaped psychotherapy sessions, participants will come away with new tools to understand and work with anger.
