Registration for Session 5 — Rage of the Abandonment Psychoeducational Reading Circle, based on Susan Anderson’s The Journey from Abandonment to Healing.
In this session, we explore the role and place of anger in abandonment recovery. After the self-blame of Internalizing, anger can signal a growing capacity to recognize injury, question the authority given to the person who rejected us, and take our own experience seriously.
We will examine the neurobiology of anger and rage, their role in mobilizing self-protection, and their psychic function in restoring boundaries and agency. We will explore how to recognize what anger is communicating and redirect its energy toward choices that support us. Anderson’s concept of the Outer Child will help us understand how emotional pain becomes expressed through impulsive reactions, defensive behaviors, and patterns that can undermine what we need.
