Shameless Leadership 659: Jessica Sinarski: How to Own and Embrace Your Anger
Jessica Sinarski is a highly sought-after therapist, speaker, and change-maker. Extensive post-graduate training and 15+ years as a clinician and educator led her to create the resource and training platform–BraveBrains. She makes brain science practical, helping parents and professionals become healers for hurting children. She is the author of the award-winning Riley the Brave series, Hello, Anger, and more.
This is Jessica’s third time on the show! Anytime she has a new book, I’m dying to get her back on the SMA. Jessica’s ability to help kids and parents understand brain science in order to support emotional management is incredible. I walk away from every conversation with Jessica feeling like I have a ton of new tools to support my child and myself.
Listen in to hear Jessica share:
- What anger is and why it’s so crucial to talk about it now
- The importance of recognizing anger as a protection mechanism
- Why we need to recognize that anger is not bad
- The vicious cycle of anger and shame
- How mom overwhelm triggers anger
- The importance of really accessing our anger and working through it vs avoiding it and stuffing it (which ultimately forces it to show up in dysfunctional ways)
- How to explicitly ask for help with your anger or shame
- Why it was important to her to write a book that honors anger, not shut it down
