ABSTRACT

This exercise is very popular with teenagers, but also it’s very useful for adults who have been ‘too good’ all their lives and/or who were not really allowed to get angry in childhood. The exercise allows participants the space to express some of their anger safely on paper. One major objective of this exercise is, therefore, to support someone who is keeping anger inside or swallowing it to express it. A short ‘emotional literacy’ introduction about anger is an important prelude to this exercise.
