Women face unique challenges when experiencing, regulating and expressing anger and aggressive thoughts and feelings, as well as confidently voicing more difficult feelings toward others.
This supportive women’s group provides a safe, confidential place for you to learn assertiveness and anger management skills, and to heal trauma, abuse, and bullying from adult, teen, and childhood years. Share and witness each other’s successes and challenges, while practicing new skills and learning to value and respect yourself and others.
Diversity –age, ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, religion, social class, and the rich textures of each person’s life experiences– are valued.
No society that feeds its children on tales of successful violence can expect them not to believe that violence in the end is rewarded.
~ Margaret Mead, Anthropologist
