Express Your Anger! Workshop of somatic (bioenergetic) exercises

Workshop about anger according to Alexander Lowen
Bioenergetic (somatic) exercises

Anger is a complex emotion for many of us. We may feel like it’s getting out of control or be afraid to show it.

Anger is associated with aggression, screaming, and hurting others. Those who get mad are treated as unpredictable and unfriendly.

The truth is that we need a healthy expression of anger! When we let off some steam, we release tension, reduce stress, and win precious energy back.

The therapist and psychiatrist Alexander Lowen invented bioenergetic analysis and its exercises. They give us the tools to understand and work with our anger.

WORKSHOP ABOUT ANGER: WHAT TO EXPECT?

Understand
You will examine your attitude towards anger. We will discuss the different shades of this emotion. Often something else hides underneath, like sadness or shame. You'll understand why a healthy expression of anger is OK and beneficial for you and others.

Exercise
In a small group and safe space, we'll learn the basic somatic exercises for working with anger. To access this strong emotion safely, you need to be grounded and aware of your body. Through expressive practices, you'll connect with your own anger.

Regulate
One of the main goals of bioenergetic exercises is to regulate emotions and improve well-being. Thanks to regular practice in expressing anger, you'll be able to manage stress, improve sleep quality, boost confidence, and even boost your libido! This embodied work can help you become more assertive at work and in your relationships.
