Anger
with

Anger is a difficult emotion to handle in ourselves and with our clients. This experiential workshop will provide a safe place for participants to explore their own anger and to improve their understanding and skills for working with anger in their clinical practice. It will include handouts and exercises that can be used with clients and provide participants with the opportunity to test drive some of these.

Fritz Perls’ practice
of Gestalt Therapy was notoriously abrasive. A highly creative approach, it
worked well with robust clients, but less well with people prone to shame.
The relational school of Gestalt, developed by practitioners such as Yontef,
Jacobs and Hycner, has stressed the importance of inclusion and confirmation
and the therapeutic power of dialogue. Put simply, they emphasise the centrality
of kindness.
The workshop will consist of exercises and practice in working with clients
who are prone to shame and also will look at our own shame issues. There will
be references to theory throughout: in particular, to that of the Gestalt
relational school.
