Synopsis

All emotions such as love, grief and anger can be misused. This book is about the honorable, respectable, and productive use of emotions. In Freedom From Anger, Dr. Roger J. Daldrup, a psychologist who has done pioneering work in anger therapy, described in another of his books, Focused Expressive Psychotherapy, and Dodie Gust, Director of an Anger Management Center, explain the reasons that we have difficulty in expressing our angry feelings to significant others such as parents, siblings, spouses, lovers and friends. The book includes exercises at the end of the chapters to discover your own unique contracts with yourself about your own expression of emotions. It also provides methods, proven in years of clinical practice, for an effective and productive release of suppressed anger, With the use of real life case studies, the authors examine: - the most common reasons for avoiding the expression of anger - Injunctions against anger in our society - The covering of anger with blaming, crying, and denial - Why anger doesn't cancel out love - The connection between sexual problems and suppressed anger - The connection between depression and suppressed anger - The connection between suicidal tendencies and suppressed anger - The connection between addictions and suppressed anger - The necessary steps for dealing effectively with suppressed anger. Holding onto old feeling is a waste of time and is not valuable to anyone. We can recover our rightful energy to live life to its fullest without the burden of decayed feelings of bitterness and anger carried inside of us. --- from book's back cover
