Self Development Through Managing Anger

In this safe space and training session, you will be guided to take a look more closely at what anger is and whether it serves a valuable purpose.

Then, there will be an opportunity to discuss our own relationships with anger and to consider answers to questions such as what do we do with it? The session will also examine various strategies for dealing with anger in anger-provoking situations.

More about your tutors

Meet lovely Gleni, a former counsellor and adult education teacher who used to teach counselling skills and self-awareness courses. Hear about Gleni's journey towards becoming a counsellor and the time she spent reliving memories of her childhood and feelings previously buried deep within the subconscious mind. Then, through this painful process, she went on to experience a moment of spiritual enlightenment, which helped her accept herself as herself, leading her on her life's ultimate journey. To train to become a counsellor.

Throughout her working career, Gleni has been driven to help people gain a deeper understanding of themselves, having benefited from her experience of working through past memories. This experience enables Gleni to advise and empathise with firsthand experience about the impact triggers have upon people, and it is this life experience and understanding that you will be greeted with within this relaxed, safe, and informative workshop.

This time, Gleni is joined by Nicola, who has a work history and experience of domestic abuse. Over twenty years ago, she co-facilitated perpetrator programmes, supported women and delivered training in the community. Nicola is enthusiastic about group facilitation and learning, believing we all are our own experts and that sharing experience can provide immeasurable benefit to others.
