    Alistair Moes shares his profound journey of emotional healing and transformation
    Aug 6 2021
    Welcome back to another episode of Addiction to Freedom. This episode is an interesting conversation with someone called Alistair Moes also known as the Angerman. Alistair is an International Anger Management Expert and Author, who has been working with people worldwide, and professionally since 1989 and as an anger management specialist in private practice since 1995. Alistair has worked with those with enormous challenges in the world: high-performance business leaders, gold medal-winning Olympic and professional athletes, and people close to being homeless. In this episode, we talked a lot about the importance of anger and noticing what’s going on in the body, as the intelligence of the body is a rich source of feedback. We can use this feedback in relationships as an understanding of when things are appropriate or when boundaries have been overstepped. I think you will find this episode insightful and gain a better understanding of the importance of acknowledging anger and how it can lead to great insights.
