ANGER Is A Natural Source of Energy for Useful Change! This Podcast Addresses How to use Anger Constructively, not Destructively!

CAOS

This podcast explores and distinguishes between what helps anger to be acknowledged and then used constructively to create useful change and what prevents that possibility when it is used destructively towards vandalism, abuse and violence. It leads to 6 main points about how to use our anger constructively rather than be ‘taken over’ by it and misdirect it towards destructive actions.

This podcast was inspired by terrorist and tragic events in London and Manchester in May/June 2017 including the Grenfell Tower fire in West London, and the different ways of responding to these events shown by different members of the community, media and politicians.

The aim of the podcast is to help listeners reflect on their intentions for how to use their anger and to direct it towards aims that benefit everyone rather than continue and escalate the personal criticisms and even violence, abuse and destruction that can sometimes follow such events.
