You're the calm one. The understanding one. The one who never makes a scene.

But your jaw is tight. Your shoulders are up by your ears. You say yes when you mean no, and you're tired in a way sleep doesn't fix. Some days, you don't feel much of anything at all.

What if that's anger — not gone, just held?

Most of us were taught early that anger isn't for good girls. So we swallowed it, smiled through it, turned it against ourselves. But anger doesn't disappear. It settles in the body, it quiets our voice, and it takes our joy and our life force along with it.

Anger isn't the problem. It's energy. It's information. It's the part of you that knows where your boundaries are and what truly matters to you.

In this workshop, you get to meet it — safely, in your own way and at your own pace, surrounded by women who understand.

Are you avoiding anger?

Suppressed anger rarely looks like anger. Maybe you'll recognise yourself here.

People-pleasing and over-giving

  • You say yes when you mean no, then feel drained or resentful
  • You over-function: doing everything yourself, then secretly keeping score
  • You apologize constantly, even when you’re the one who was wronged

Turning it inward

  • You’re harshly self-critical: the anger goes at yourself instead of outward
  • You’re a perfectionist and never feel “good enough”
  • Guilt and shame are your default emotions, often standing in for anger
  • You optimise yourself, your body, your looks

In your body

  • A tight jaw, clenched teeth, shoulders up to your ears
  • Headaches, stomach issues, chronic tension
  • A quiet voice, holding your breath, taking up little space

In how you see yourself

  • “I’m just not an angry person”
  • You think it’s “wiser” being calm, understanding, compassionate
  • You fear that if you let it out, you’ll become “too much” or “like my mother/father”

What becomes possible

“After the workshop, I was waiting for my bus. It was dark, and a man came over to talk to me. I didn't want to, and I felt this power in my body — I just said no. He turned around and left immediately. Normally, out of fear, I would have started a conversation or let him talk. I was amazed by the energy I gave off.”

Why I do this work

Jennifer Lacher, emotional release practitioner

Growing up, I was the good girl. The helper. And yet I remember moments when I was angry — and how that anger was met with shame. So I learned to put it away.

It wasn't until my first anger release in 2022 that I came back to that strong, powerful part of myself. Today I feel my boundaries earlier, right in my body, and I honour my power so much more.

That's what I want to make possible for you.

I'm Jennifer, a certified coach, mindfulness teacher and emotional release practitioner. I hold this space with care, structure and a lot of respect for your pace.

What does an Anger Release workshop look like?

Every workshop has its own flavour, but the structure always stays the same — so you know what to expect.

  1. 1

    Opening circle

    We begin by arriving together. There’s space to share how you’re feeling, and I offer some grounding knowledge about emotions and anger: what anger is, why we hold it back, and what happens in the body when we do.

  2. 2

    Coming into your body

    Through guided exercises, you come in touch with your body, your boundaries and your own voice. This prepares you to feel safe and present before going deeper.

  3. 3

    The anger release

    Now it’s time to let go. Everyone releases in their own time and in their own way, supported by a playlist carefully designed to help you move into — and through — different states. No one tells you how to feel. You simply follow what wants to come.

  4. 4

    Closing circle

    We end by coming back together. You can ask questions and share whatever wants to be shared — or simply listen.

This last part is essential. Anger so often comes with shame. Hearing other women’s experiences shows you that you’re not alone. It lowers the shame, opens the way to free expression, and gently invites self-acceptance.

From former participants

In their words

“Wow. My neck and shoulders had been tense for months — no massage, nothing helped. Now I can finally turn my head again.”

“I feel so empowered — especially after witnessing other women in their power. I used to have such a negative image of anger. Now it feels positive and strong.”

“My jaw was always tight, often completely locked. Now it feels loose and open again.”

“I felt so much empowerment and joy — not only experiencing my own anger, but seeing other women experience theirs. It was a very powerful experience.”

“I feel a sense of relief and clarity I haven't felt in a long time.”

What you'll take home

Lightness in your body

Tension you've carried for months — in your jaw, neck, shoulders — can finally soften.

Clarity

When anger moves, the fog lifts. You know more clearly what you want, and what you don't.

Clear boundaries

You feel your "no" in your body, and you discover you can say it without explaining.

Your voice back

Literally and figuratively. You learn you're allowed to take up space.

Less shame, more self-acceptance

Seeing other women meet their anger shows you you're not alone, and that nothing about you is "too much."

Life force

Anger and joy live close together. When one is free to move, so is the other.

Questions you might have

It's completely normal to feel hesitant. Many women feel both scared and drawn to this at the same time — often that's a sign it's exactly the right moment.

Shame and fear

Is this even for me?

Shame and being seen

Losing control

The other women

Afterwards

Practical, but really about nerves

A gentle note

These workshops are deeply supportive, but they are not a replacement for therapy or medical care. If you're going through a crisis or are in treatment, please speak with your therapist before joining, or write to me and we'll see together what's right for you.

Sharing is always optional, but this is a group. If you'd prefer more privacy, a 1:1 session may suit you better.
