Anger is a common aspect of motherhood. And yet, it’s always been taboo for mothers to feel anger, let alone express it. The idea that mothers should be grateful and loving every minute doesn’t consider the reality of motherhood or the full spectrum of human emotions. When we look at the pressures mothers are under, it’s no wonder anger often sits alongside the joy our children bring.

Children witnessing our anger can be a complex experience to reconcile. We’d likely be unsettled if anyone spoke to our children venomously, handled them roughly or caused their face to lower in sadness and their body retreat in fear. And yet, there will likely be a time we find our self here, in a moment we wish we could erase, for them – and for us. 

This gentle session explores our social and personal relationship with anger. It looks at the pressures mothers are under, how anger arises and how we respond to it. The magic happens when we start to flip the script and transform our future relationship with anger.
