Lailani Bruff
Introduction
I started working clinically with anger, when my own therapists were unable to create space for my anger as a grad student. I found it surprising that this therapeutic space was not able to hold this emotion, and decided that it wasn't the space at all. It's how we as therapists have been taught to bypass anger instead of be with and release it from the body. I use somatic awareness skills, embodiment practices, and guided visualizations to walk people through their relationship to anger, and learn to connect with the protective parts of anger that are screaming to be heard. I have experience working with women both in and coming out of the jail system, working with mother’s navigating motherhood and post-partum experiences, people struggling with chronic pain or illness, Queer people, Neurodivergent people, BIPOC, Asian American and Pacific Islander people, white people, Latinx people, allies both with privilege and marginalization, people in the service industry, and yes people navigating anger. The truth is, that all of these folks I have worked with were/are each struggling with their relationship to anger, in so many different ways. What you’re bringing to the room is your unique life experience, and that is necessary. What I am bringing to the room is a container, a place to hold all that comes up for you, which I also believe to be necessary.
