NARM Training Institute

Anger is one of the most misunderstood emotions—often seen as either destructive or something to suppress. In this powerful and practical webinar, Dr. Laurence Heller and NARM Master Therapist Sherri Sharkins explore how unintegrated anger can show up in two primary ways: turned outward through explosive or controlling behaviors, or turned inward through self-criticism, shame, and depression. Acting anger “out” can damage relationships and inhibit emotional growth, while acting it “in” can lead to chronic disconnection from oneself. Within the NARM framework, the presenters guide viewers through a deeper understanding of these patterns and how they often mask more vulnerable emotional experiences.

This webinar offers valuable insights and tools for anyone interested in personal healing, emotional development, or supporting others on their journey. You’ll learn how to recognize when anger is a defense versus when it’s an authentic response, how to create space for healthy expression without blame or withdrawal, and why integrating anger can lead to greater empowerment, self-connection, and relational clarity. Dr. Heller and Sherri provide a compassionate and clear approach to transforming anger into a powerful ally for growth and connection.
