If you've practiced for more than a decade, you've probably noticed more anger, impatience, contempt, hypercriticism, and sense of entitlement in your clients. Resentment emerges when we feel rejected, diminished, or disregarded by others. The feeling of threat to our basic self then triggers anger, which we justify as our entitlement. Even "lesser" forms of anger can damage our relationships and leave us feeling ashamed and diminished. Such unpleasant feelings can propel us right back into another anger/self-justification cycle. In this workshop, you'll learn how to reverse this process through H.E.A.L.S, a self-help, guided-imagery tool that offers an alternative to reflexive venting and powerfully associates the trigger of anger with the vivid and immediate experience of what we most value in life and in ourselves--self compassion, and compassion for others--states of mind incompatible with either anger or the ego neediness that invites anger.
