View all →About This Event
What if your anger isn’t the problem? Psychotherapist Anna Mathur on rage, burnout and emotional overload. Followed by Q&A. You didn’t used to be like this. The sharp words, the guilt that follows, the exhaustion of holding it all together – and then not. Sound familiar? In this talk, four-time Sunday Times bestselling psychotherapist Anna Mathur makes the case for something radical: your anger isn’t the problem. It’s a signal. And when you learn to understand it, it can become one of your greatest sources of clarity, compassion and connection. Drawing from her new book, How to Stop Snapping at the People You Love (As Well As The Ones You Don’t), Anna explores why we’re often cruellest to the closest, what our rage is actually trying to tell us, and how to use its energy for change instead of destruction. Expect honest insight, practical tools, and the kind of permission you didn’t know you needed. Doors open at 7pm, talk starts at 7:30pm - come down early to grab a good seat! Follow us on IG @seedtalks Speaker Bio: Anna Mathur is a psychotherapist and bestselling author.
