Is anger a healthy emotion to express?
Where do I put all my rage?
Won’t I just hurt others if I tell them they are annoying me?
Many men who enter our groups carry the belief that anger is a feeling that “has no productive value,” or is only associated with intimidation, aggression, yelling, or violence. We’re here to tell you that while those are certainly possibilities, that is not necessarily (or even usually) the case. If we can learn how to work with our anger (or even annoyance, frustration, or irritation) in a relational way, it can lead to clearer communication and deeper relationships with others. Troy and Brian will help you dissolve the blocks to experiencing and expressing anger, and give you the opportunity to practice communicating anger in healthy ways with fellow participants.
