Self-help authors rarely distinguish between anger and rage, but Ruth King has devoted her career to exploring the subtle varieties of rage while challenging the notion that rage is an evil emotion that must be eradicated. In Healing Rage, she gives all readers access to her pioneering, breakthrough program, which has already changed thousands of lives through workshops nationwide.

King identifies six common disguises (dominance, defiance, devotion, distraction, depression, and dependence) of rage and provides healing exercises that integrate body, mind, and wisdom. She also teaches us how to embrace and respect rage, allowing it to fuel us and play a creative role in shaping our relationships.

Written from every women-ranging from counselors and their patients to those who may not realize that rage is at the root of their unhappiness-Healing Rage is a unique invitation for transformation.
