testing
Every week: Saturdays · 2:41pm · 60 minutes
Next session: Sat, Nov 14 · 2:41pm (your time zone: Eastern Standard Time)
How it works
- Free live video group with 9 spots each session.
- A member who has been through it hosts, keeps the group on track and makes sure everyone gets a turn.
- Cameras stay on, so everyone can see who's there. Your mic is your choice: talk, or just listen.
- Save a spot, or drop in during the first 10 minutes if there's space.
- Anyone can privately report someone who makes the room feel unsafe.
Why a group about anger?
Anger is a normal, healthy feeling. It often sits on top of hurt, fear, grief or exhaustion, and it can be hard to talk about without feeling judged. A group is a place to talk about what sets it off, what's underneath it, and what helps you stay steady, with people who get it.
Signs anger may be becoming a problem
For information only, not for diagnosing. Anger on its own isn't a mental illness, and this list isn't a diagnosis. Lasting anger can sometimes go with depression, anxiety, trauma or other conditions, which only a doctor or mental health professional can diagnose. If anger is hurting you or the people around you, a doctor or counsellor can help, and if anyone is in danger, call 911 (US) or 999 (UK).
- Feeling angry much of the time, or more than the situation calls for
- Losing your temper quickly, then regretting it
- Shouting, slamming doors or breaking things
- Anger getting in the way of your relationships, work or family life
- People around you seeming wary, or walking on eggshells
- Holding anger in until it boils over, or turning it on yourself
- A racing heart, clenched jaw or fists, or feeling hot and shaky
- Feeling ashamed or guilty afterwards
Heal Kinder is peer support: people who've been there, listening and sharing. Many members find it a real help alongside any care they already have, though it isn't therapy or a crisis service. If you are in danger, call 911. In the US you can call or text 988 any time. Outside the US, call your local emergency number (Samaritans 116 123 in the UK).
