Transforming anger Choose a trigger I feel anger or frustration or even mild annoyance about.
Focus on your trigger and then check in with your body.
How does your body feel now?
How old is that part of you that feels anger?
If you don't have a memory,
Imagine how old it might be.
How old is that?
For a moment allow yourself to feel the full amount of that anger.
Give the part a shape,
A colour,
A texture,
Maybe a name.

Ask your anger what do you want?
What do you need?

Bring in a compassionate figure,
Your adult self who takes care of your kids,
Your pets or plants,
A spiritual figure,
A friend or friendly relative that you trust.
Show compassion to the anger and validate her wants and needs.
