Description
This training explores how self-compassion can transform the way we relate to anger—both in ourselves and in those we serve. Rather than seeing anger as a “problem to solve,” we’ll consider it a valuable messenger with something to teach us. Drawing from evidence-based therapeutic approaches including CBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based practices, we’ll examine how difficult emotions like anger can be met with curiosity, courage, and care.
Format: This is an online, self-paced course.
Target Audience: Social workers and other mental health providers
Practice Level: Intermediate
Learning Objectives
By the end of this training:
