Dr. Raker's new book, Disarm the Bomb! Defuse ANGER Before it Derails Your Life is now available along with the Workbook & Study Guide.
Anger does not go away on its own. When we try to ignore it, it can build up inside of us and explode in unexpected ways, shattering relationships and holding us back in life.
You can learn to identify the unexpressed anger in your life, gain insight into what it really means, and learn how to make peace with your emotions.
The companion Workbook & Study guide takes you through step-by-step exercises to get under the surface of conflict and defuse it once and for all.
The Peace, Love, & Psychology podcast is available directly on its home page and other popular hosting sites!
Started in 2023, each episode explores key principles in psychology and discusses practical strategies and techniques you can use to improve your quality of life.
Production on new episodes is currently underway.
