Description

Our chronic ill health is evidence that history has not emancipated us. Women still cannot recognise or permit their own rage. Micro and macro injustices are woven through our personal narratives, and we wear their imprint on our bodies and minds. This book is an urgent call to arms to identify these feelings and channel them for good. Before they destroy us.

What if you aren't depressed
What if you don't have chronic fatigue
What if you are just... angry

What if a lifetime of being told to repress anger, hide it away and fear it, has shown up in your body in a myriad of ways you can't control As a woman, when was the last time you were allowed to be truly angry Have you ever

The answer to this, argues Jennifer Cox, is never. Women are never allowed to really express their anger, and it is making us all mad. From toddlerdom when girls are conditioned to be 'good' and not make a fuss, to the sandwich years of midlife when the burden of myriad responsibilities is overwhelming, women's anger is hidden, repressed and toxic.

This book will show you where it is hiding and how to let it out.

Author Bio

Jennifer Cox trained as a forensic psychotherapist at the Tavistock Clinic, and has a Masters in Neuroscience. Jennifer has an extensive international psychotherapy practice based in London, specialising in treating women and their undiagnosed anger. For years now, she has experimented with prescribing 'homework' around therapy. In this way, she has discovered the efficacy of psychoanalytic work can be accelerated by other means. Crucially, the Women Are Mad approach also enables people who can't afford therapy an opportunity to 'think below the surface' about where their rage might be coming from, as they try out the practical ideas suggested for releasing it. Jennifer now runs several processing groups across a month and is growing the Women Are Mad brand. The weekly Women Are Mad podcast has now dropped, with Jane Green as co-host and a line-up of captivating celebrity guests including Miranda Sawyer.
