Rory Valentine Diller
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., LMFT Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #139783
Anger can be so tricky to deal with. Society conditions us to fear and judge anger in ourselves and each other, but the truth is; Anger is a fundamentally human, primal, physiologic response to experiences that threaten our emotional and physical safety. Anger is hurt's bodyguard. It's there to protect us and it is worthy of compassion, honor and validation. I work with clients to help them understand their anger more astutely, release shame around it, learn about it's connection to the autonomic nervous system, express or channel it into safe and healthy outlets, and earn skills to effectively manage it in everyday life.
