Is anger getting in the way of the life you want? Do you lash out at others, or experience uncontrollable rages that hurt your relationships or damage your career? When you feel angry, do you also experience unpleasant or even frightening physical sensations such as a rapid heartbeat, shaking, or sweating? If so, your anger may be caused by unresolved past trauma. In order to effectively manage your anger, you must first treat the root cause.

Grounded in somatic and attachment-focused EMDR (SAFE), this book offers a self-guided, trauma-informed approach to help you heal and move past unresolved trauma using bilateral tapping—a simple technique that stimulates the right and left sides of the brain to help the body achieve a more restful, balanced state. By addressing the root of your anger—instead of repressing it—you’ll gain greater control over intense emotions, regulate your nervous system, improve your relationships, and build a more peaceful life.

Unresolved trauma can keep you stuck in a vicious cycle of anger, rage, and frustration. But you can heal the wounds of the past and build a more peaceful life. This compassionate, step-by-step guide will show you how.
