Do you find yourself becoming so angry you have trouble thinking? Do you know someone who flies into dangerous rages where they are complete out of control of their body and emotions? Have you ever come across someone who holds onto their anger until they become overloaded with resentment? If so, then this session is for you. The Angry brain has developed neuropathways that can disrupt work, strain relationships and even damage a person’s health. In this session you will learn which areas of the brain cause these types of reactions and how to take control and rewire your brain for greater patience and perspective.
