Anger likes to hide.

“I’m not angry,” you say to your loved one, “you’re just infuriating!”

For many of us, it’s easier to feel sad or scared than it is to be aware of anger. Yet anger is a natural and understandable reaction to injustice and feeling powerless.

Making room for feelings of anger can help us get in touch with core energy, our natural empowerment, our true voice. It’s also important to acknowledge the worries about anger, that it will be too much, or carry us away. We’ll explore it all in this webinar!

Welcoming all of you doesn’t mean you don’t change – on the contrary! The fastest way to positive change is to acknowledge how you feel now.

And one step up from acknowledging is actually welcoming… welcoming your feelings, welcoming your worried, scared, or angry parts. Welcoming All of You.

When you welcome all of you, you become a calm space where everything in you can be the way it is. You are OK. You are enough… and you are becoming more. Can’t imagine that?

Join us for this webinar and start to experience the quiet confidence that comes from accepting yourself just the way you are.

We look forward to seeing you!

About Your Teacher

Ann Weiser Cornell

Ann Weiser Cornell struggled with painful addiction, anxiety in social situations, and an inability to do the thing she most wanted to do – write.

Ann created Inner Relationship Focusing with her long-time colleague, Barbara McGavin, to help alleviate the thinking and feeling cycles that kept her stuck in hard places. It changed her life, and it became her mission to help others create quiet miracles in their lives too.

Since 1985, Ann’s been teaching this practical, revolutionary process to people all over the world.

Got Questions? We’ve Got Your Answers…

Yes. Registered guests will receive a link to a replay. The video will be posted 1-2 days after the event.

This event will be hosted on Zoom and will mainly feature your host, Ann Weiser Cornell. All guests will be hidden and muted, unless you’d like to ask a question. In that case, Ann will invite you to join her onscreen.

You’re welcome to keep your video off if you prefer and just participate by audio. You can also join by phone.

IRF is a compassionate, body-centered approach to emotional healing and self-discovery. This method helps you build a deeper connection with yourself, one rooted in understanding, curiosity, and kindness.

IRF is more than a tool…it’s a gentle way of being with yourself.

It’s about turning toward your emotions with openness and learning to listen to what they’re trying to tell you. Instead of being caught up in self-criticism or stress, you’ll develop the skills to meet life’s challenges with self-compassion and courage.

Through this process, you can untangle patterns that no longer serve you, quiet your inner critic, and uncover a wellspring of clarity and wisdom. It’s a powerful way to reclaim trust in yourself and embrace your inner strength.
