13. Anger
• I never get Angry
• I grow a tumour instead
• Repression-Rage (Unregulated acting out) = abnormal release
of emotions
• Both repression and rage represent a fear of the genuine
experience of anger.
• It is a physiological process to be experienced.
• It has cognitive value (It provides essential information)
• I matter

14. —Eckhart Tolle
“Where there is anger, there is always
pain underneath.”

15. Autonomy
• Illness bot only has a history but also tells a history.
• Existence of an autonomous, self-regulating psyche is nature’s
higher purpose.
• Physical body begins to succumb when psychic integrity and
freedom are jeopardized
• Disease itself is a boundary question
• Boundaries and autonomy are essential for health.

17. Attachment
• Connection is also vital to healing behind all our anger lies a
deeply frustrated need for truly intimate contact.
• Healing both requires & Implies regaining the vulnerability that
made us shut down emotionally.
• We no longer need fear emotional vulnerability
• Seeking connection is a necessity for healing.

19. Assertion
• Self declaration it is the statement of our being positive valuation
of ourselves independent of our history
• Personality
• Abilities
• The world’s or perceptions of us Assertion challenges the core
belief that we must somehow justify our existence.

20. Affirmation
• What is in us must out everyone has an urge to create expression
may flow through many channels-writing
• Art or music
• Cooking gardening
• The point is to honour the urge.
