A Printable Visual Guide

Print the map and keep it somewhere visible. When anger shows up, you'll have a gentle guide to help you navigate the moment with more awareness and less reactivity.

🎧 Includes a gentle audio companion

Along with the printable A.N.G.E.R. Map, you’ll receive access to a short audio guide called When Anger Shows Up.

This audio is not a lesson or a technique.
It’s a gentle pause you can return to when emotions feel close—or already here.

You can listen:

  • before using the map

  • after a hard moment

  • or anytime you want support slowing down and coming back into your body

Listen at your own pace, whenever it feels supportive.

This audio is meant to offer support and grounding. It’s not a substitute for therapy or medical care.

How the A.N.G.E.R. Map Works

A Acknowledge

Connect to yourself, pause, and name what you're feeling right now. Give yourself permission to feel it without immediately reacting.

N Nurture

Be on your own side. Ask yourself what's under the anger and what you need in this moment.

G Get Moving

Anger is energy with a place to go. Move it through your body before it comes out at your child.

E Explore the Child's Point of View

IOnce you're calmer, consider how your child might be experiencing this moment.

R Repair

Reach out first to reestablish connection.

Anger Isn't the Enemy

Whether you explode at your child or shut down and withdraw, anger is trying to tell you something. It's protecting something that matters to you. When you learn to befriend it instead of fight it, everything changes. You stay connected to yourself and to your child, even in hard moments.

This map gives you a framework to work with anger instead of being controlled by it.
