Healing Rage

Description

Now in paperback, the self-published success that provides guidance for women in identifying and transforming one of the most challenging emotions of our lives

In Healing Rage, she gives all readers access to her pioneering, breakthrough program, which has already changed thousands of lives through workshops nationwide.

Written for every woman–from counselors and their patients to those who may not realize that rage is at the root of their unhappiness and have just begun to seek new paths of hope–Healing Rage is a unique invitation for transformation.“Here is a book of enormous scope that helps us to become more curious about our rage and better equipped to use it wisely.
