Healing Rage

Few recognize the enormous power of rage as a vehicle for healing, or possess the skillful means to transform rage from a destructive to a life affirming resource. Rage is fuel, the source of our empowerment. When we embrace this brilliance respectfully, rage teaches us how to live, love, and heal. Self-help authors rarely distinguish between anger and rage, but Ruth King has devoted her career to exploring the subtle varieties of rage, while challenging the notion that rage is an “evil” emotion that must be eradicated. In Healing Rage, she gives all readers access to her pioneering, breakthrough program, which has already changed thousands of lives through workshops nationwide. Rage, King explains, sits at the crossroads of personal transformation. Those of us seeking more self-awareness will inevitably stumble upon personal rage on the path. Rage is not to be understood as a useless emotion, empty of story or knowledge, but as clarity and untapped fuel. Embraced with compassion, the energy trapped in rage becomes an intimate and empathic teacher offering balance, integrity, and inner peace to your healing journey, relationships, and service. King identifies six common disguises of rage (dominance, defiance, devotion, distraction, depression, and dependence) and provides healing exercises including: * Discover your rage inheritance and how to transform your legacy. * Learn how to Look Within before Acting Out. * Learn how to break habitual pain patterns in relationships. * Learn how to center yourself again and again in difficult situations. * Learn how to stay true to yourself when others are raging. * And learn how to stop contributing to your own suffering. Many of us go through our lives maintaining a good front. We may have all of the trappings—good job, higher education, and material gain--yet we have an inherent discontent with our lives that won’t go away. Written for every woman—ranging from counselors and their patients to those who may not realize that rage is at the root of their unhappiness and have just begun to seek new paths of hope—Healing Rage is a unique invitation for transformation.
