Boundaries and Anger — **For many who grew up in chaotic or neglectful homes, anger was either explosive and frightening or silenced and unsafe.**

Rarely was it modeled as a healthy signal that protects love, safety, and respect. Without that model, survivors of complex trauma often fall into two extremes: burying anger until resentment builds, or erupting in ways that damage relationships.
This course will help you see anger through a trauma-informed lens. You’ll learn to recognize anger as a signal, not a danger; to set boundaries before resentment builds; and to express needs with clarity instead of eruption. Through Emily’s story, focus questions, and practical tools, you’ll begin to re-train anger as a guide toward honesty, repair, and deeper connection.
Anger doesn’t have to be your enemy. It can become a trusted ally — pointing you back toward respect, love, and safety.
