Join us for a workshop designed specifically to help if you struggle to set boundaries, you say yes to things when you want to say no or take on too much.

This workshop will guide you in understanding and working with the parts of yourself that relate to these situations and emotions using principles from Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy.

Understanding the Angry Part

You may experience emotions such as anger, frustration or resentment.

Anger can often masking deeper feelings like hurt or fear, Frustration can arise from unmet needs or boundaries being violated, and Resentment can build over time when boundaries are continually disrespected.

You may find yourself having thoughts of harsh judgments about oneself or others. It may show up as negative beliefs such as feeling unworthy or unloved, or stories such as ‘no one cares about me’ Or you may find yourself replaying upsetting events or anticipating future conflicts with people.

It can result in having enough and yelling, throwing things, or wanting to engage in physical altercations.
You may be inclined to passive aggressive behaviour such as using sarcasm, silent treatment, or backhanded compliments. Or Withdrawing from situations or people that might trigger anger.

The part of you that is angry or resentful is just trying to Self Protect. It has the best of intentions. It may want to manage or control the situation to avoid vulnerability.
It may be acting out of having unmet needs, these can be physical, emotional or psychological. Any needs you have that contribute to your own wellbeing. It can be anything from skipping a meal to just wanting to be acknowledged and appreciated for your efforts.

Its very common that if you have trouble with setting boundaries or maintaining them, often feel angry or have underlying resentment you will often have a people pleaser part.

The people pleaser part prioritizes others' needs over its own, leading to internal conflict and resentment.

You may also have a loud Inner Critic which may exacerbate feelings of anger by judging and shaming the angry part, creating a cycle of self-criticism.

Internal Family Systems Certified Practitioner

Through my own journey of defying a mental health diagnosis that once felt like a death sentence to thriving for over 4 years without medication, I've emerged as a fully recovered patient of psychiatry. With a background in psychology studies, Internal Family Systems therapy and wellness coaching. I'm passionate about guiding others on their healing journeys. My approach focuses on empowering individuals to take control of their mental wellness, enabling them to thrive in every area of their lives.

The truth is, while cognitive work is essential for understanding our inner worlds, it's equally important to address the root causes of our challenges. Through modalities like Internal Family Systems therapy we can unravel old patterns and behaviours that no longer serve us.

My goal is to provide a calm and safe space where individuals can reconnect with their inner wisdom and recognise their innate ability to heal themselves. Together, we can navigate the path to mental wellness and embrace a life of growth and expansion.
