#30 (Male) Anger, Emotional Repression & the Therapeutic Process with Shawn Dinkel

Anya Kaats

Aug 05, 2019

Shawn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Certified Addiction Counselor (CACII). Over the past 14-years, he has facilitated more than 9,000 therapy sessions, mostly focused on addressing male rage, anger and violence. Our conversation retraces Shawn's personal journey in becoming a therapist & how anger grows out of emotional repression, trauma and fear. We also discuss the positives and negatives of the therapeutic process + the dangers of becoming a "healer" of any kind before addressing ones own personal healing.

Shawn's Book Recommendations: The Body Never Lies by Alice Miller & The Wild Edge of Sorrow by Francis Weller.

Song featured: "Hot Tears" by Leif Vollebekk
