The Protective Role Of Anger

Before anger burns, it guards. In this session, Kate explores anger not as an enemy to be silenced, but as an ancient protector, one that rises to defend what matters most. Through gentle reflection and guided awareness, you'll learn to listen to anger's message with curiosity and compassion, discovering what it's been trying to protect all along.

When Anger Becomes Exhausting

At first, anger feels powerful. Over time, it can become heavy. In this session, Kate explores what happens when anger stops being a protector and starts becoming a weight. You'll learn to recognise the signs of emotional and physiological fatigue caused by long held tension, and how to begin restoring safety, softness and rest to your system.

The Body Remembers, How Anger Lives In The Nervous System

Long after the mind decides to let go, the body often still remembers. In this session, Kate explores how anger can live on as a physical state, in tension, breath and posture, even after the mind believes the story is over. Through gentle awareness and grounding practice, you'll learn how to support your nervous system in finding safety again, so that mind and body can finally rest.

Forgiveness As A Form Of Freedom

Forgiveness isn't about letting someone off the hook, it's about freeing yourself from the grip of what happened. In this session, we'll explore forgiveness as a gradual unwinding of tension in the body and mind, a softening that arises when your system finally feels safe enough to let go. You'll learn how true forgiveness grows naturally from compassion, nervous system regulation and self understanding, not pressure or obligation.

Meeting The Parts Of You That Hold The Anger

Anger isn't who you are, it's a part of you that once needed to protect you. In this session, you'll learn to meet that part with compassion rather than resistance, to listen to what it's been guarding, and to begin integrating it back into the whole of who you are. Through reflection and gentle inner awareness, you'll discover that when the angry part feels understood, it no longer needs to shout.

The Quiet After The Storm, Living Beyond Anger

When anger finally begins to soften, what's left behind can feel unfamiliar, quiet, tender and new. In this final session Kate explores what it means to live beyond anger, to trust calm as safe and to rediscover the small moments of ease that return when the body no longer needs to fight.
