The Dance of Anger

"The Dance of Anger" is a concept developed by Harriet Lerner that explores how women experience and express anger. The idea suggests that societal norms often discourage women from acknowledging their anger, leading to unhealthy emotional patterns. Instead of expressing anger directly, they might engage in passive-aggressive behaviors or suppress their feelings. Lerner emphasizes the importance of understanding and expressing anger in a constructive way, advocating for open communication and self-awareness. By doing so, women can reclaim their voice, enhance relationships, and foster a more authentic sense of self.
