Anger

Move Toward™ with Jenna: Anger and Frustration


If you are struggling with feelings of anger and frustration, you are not alone. These emotions are natural protective responses that we all have and must work through when faced with trying circumstances.

Counter to what one may think, if we wish to move beyond these difficult emotions, we must Move Toward™ them first––in order to learn why they are there and what they are trying to tell us.

In her latest Move Toward™ class, focused on anger and frustration, Jenna Riemersma, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Level III Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapist, EMDR therapist, Certified Sex Addiction Therapist Supervisor (CSAT-S), Certified Multiple Addiction Therapist Supervisor (CMAT-S), and a National Certified Counselor (NCC), uses her “Three Steps of Moving Toward”––notice, know, and need, to help us reconnect with ourselves and gain a better understanding of where our anger and frustration is coming from.

Jenna challenges us to ask hard questions like:

What does anger want me to know?
How is my anger trying to help me?
What does my anger need from me in order to feel comfortable and not work so hard?

Why Our Children Self-Harm and How Parents Can Help

We’ve received a lot of questions about self-harm behavior in children. It makes sense that we’re getting a lot of inquiries because we know that at least one in four young women and one in seven young men are dealing with self-harm, as a way of trying to cope with negative emotions or low self esteem or the pressures of the environment that our kids are facing.

Meditation for Polarized Parts

In this guided meditation, Jenna Riemersma helps you the parts of you that are at war (i.e. wanting to eat junk food but also wanting to be healthy). Explore and get to know the very normal experience of being human – having polarized parts – and get to know them so you can help them relate to each other in a new way.

De-Escalating Cycles of Conflict

This course will help you:

  • Identify relational conflicts that are repetitive
  • gain awareness and understanding of your inner parts that become triggered
  • learn the unique skill of speaking FOR your parts, rather than FROM them, that is a powerful tool to de-escalate conflict and enhance real relational intimacy.

Join Jenna as she illustrates these principles with a humorous example from her life!

Coping, Healing and Finding Peace Through Mindfulness

Much of life is spent trying to make up for what’s missing or lacking. There’s a mindset of “if I do this or that I’ll be more fulfilled.” Those things we seek aren’t necessarily bad but there is a feeling of restlessness. Through mindfulness you can find calm by settling into the moment and realizing that you’re already complete. It will help you return to fundamental wholeness. It is these simple principles of mindfulness that have the power to completely transform your life.

Not everything that needs to be said can be spoken. Join artist Nora Ballantyne and experience the power of art therapy.

As you do that you will find your own strength, confidence, and the capability to be brave.
