Nervous System Skills for Anger & Boundaries

What if anger isn't the problem?
What if anger is actually intelligent information... your nervous system's way of signaling that something important is at stake, that a boundary has been crossed, that something in you needs protecting?
It might go against everything you've been taught.... but the problem isn't anger itself.
It's what happens when we don't have enough nervous system capacity to be with it - so it either hijacks us before we can think, or gets buried so deep we can't feel it at all.
And without access to that signal, boundaries become nearly impossible. We either say nothing, or say everything at once.
In this workshop we're going to look at what's actually happening in your body when anger and boundaries feel out of reach. and build some simple skills for working with your nervous system rather than against it.
We'll explore:
— Why anger gets suppressed, stuck, or explosive, and what that has to do with threat detection
— Why setting boundaries can feel physically terrifying even when you know exactly what you want to say
— How to develop enough nervous system capacity that anger becomes useful information rather than something to fear or fight
— Simple practices you can use in real life (not just in a quiet room)
This evening will be mostly educational with a few gentle practices woven in. You're welcome to participate as much or as little as feels right. No somatic experience necessary.
Science is just catching up with what many traditions have always known ... that the body holds the key to how we respond, protect ourselves, and show up for what matters. Tonight we'll explore that together.
