Women who want a different relationship with their anger. Whether you tend to swallow it, explode with it, or feel scared of it, you are welcome here.

Question 2

How many people will be in the group?

Accepted Answer

The group is limited to six women. A small circle means everyone has room to be heard, and Elise can stay close to how each person is doing throughout.

Question 3

Do I need any experience?

Accepted Answer

None. No background in therapy, mindfulness, or somatic work is needed. You can arrive exactly as you are.

Question 4

Will I have to share or take part in everything?

Accepted Answer

No. Every exercise is optional, and passing is always welcome. You choose how much to share and how far to go, including stepping out or sitting an exercise out.

Question 5

Is this group therapy?

No. It is a psycho-educational and somatic workshop. You will learn about anger, the nervous system, and practical tools, and practice some of them with the group. It is not a space for processing trauma in depth.

Question 8

What should I wear or bring?

Wear something comfortable that you can move and breathe in. Bring water and a notebook if you like to write. Tea, and snacks will be provided.

Question 9

What if something big comes up for me?

Accepted Answer

This is a small group of six, so Elise can stay close to how everyone is doing throughout. You are free to pause, step out, or sit an exercise out at any point, no explanation needed. If the workshop stirs up something you want to explore further, individual counselling with Elise is available at Am

Question 10

What will we do during the session?

Accepted Answer

We will explore why women learn to suppress anger and what that costs the body, practice breathing and body-based tools for the nervous system, try a gentle partner exercise, and finish with a guided mindfulness practice and a closing circle.
