The Dance of Anger by Harriet Lerner

2.0

This book is definitely of its time. Very cis-heteronormative. Also it uses the assumption that feelings like anger just come to you, as if they aren’t created by you. I think for most people, feelings coming to you is a useful idea, and if I’d read this book closer to 15 years ago, it might have fit for me better. But I did not.

Also, leaving your kid to be hit by his father so that you change your relationship with the dad is a bad look. Come on.

Ask some of the suggestions for interacting with people seemed manipulative.

Oh well. It was a fast listen.
