Thank you, Ruth

As a Chinese Buddhist from Asia, I was initially skeptical about what type of practice this black American lady could offer. I came from "the traditional Buddhist religion" in Asia. I was told to "let it go", and to strive for "forgiveness", and "compassion" These are the virtues of being Buddhist. Yet, no matter how many retreats I attended, I just couldn't reach that level and I blamed myself for not being a good Buddhist. I found that Ms. King's book and CD offered deeper teachings than that which I had received back home. She used practical personal experiences and displayed the wisdom of her personal discovery process. She made the teaching become tangible.
From reading the book, I found that my upbringing and experiences were similar to the author's in some degree. I experienced a strong resonance while I was reading the book and listening to her CD. I found she spoke for me.
As a mostly devotion type personality, I was inspired from her book and CD to learn the teachings of self-care, and self forgiveness. Without healing my rage how could forgiveness happen truthfully? After I came to the North America, I took some workshops. I gained a lot of new perspectives from the new teachings and felt more confidence about myself. But I still felt that there was something missing in them (I couldn't figure it out in the time). Everybody knew how to talk about compassion but no one is encouraged to face their rage.
Perhaps most importantly I learned to "forgive myself for not being able to change my past, but also for not being able to accept it". I found it really took very small steps to "move from resentment rage to a more balanced truth". My karma with my mother became more gentle, although I am still provoked by her ignorance sometimes. Ms. King's book was a great help to me and I don't know how to express my gratitude to her. Thank you!

It's a wonderful and useful book

The title is, of course, a double entendre. First is the understanding and healing of the effects of rage, and second is the understanding that the rage is authentic, something we own and deal with daily. The person experiencing it develops many positive habits that add to her life and benefit people around her. I am grateful for the clear explanations and the idea that we do not cut out the rage, we embrace it as part of ourselves. Ellen Wall

Healing Rage is Real

If you have had trauma, this is the book for you. If you think you have led a charmed life and never suffered an insult or traumatic experience of any type...THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU. Ruth King skillfully and masterfully takes you on an inner journey to learn to deal with the rage that we all suppress and which can cripple and warp us. I highly recommend this book for anyone who has ever wondered, "Why did I do this? Why can't I change what I'm doing? I know better but I can't seem to stop myself". Go. Get the book. Learn to heal.

A trusted therapist suggested this book and l didn't want to believe it would help me and l didn't want to like it. Needless to say, l liked it and it helped. Thank You Ms. King

Powerful Book!

This is a wonderful text for women looking to heal past and present emotional and spiritual wounds while moving forward acknowledging the wisdom of their defense mechanisms or what King describes as disguises. I have often used this book in my work counseling students. I highly recommend it!

Few recognize the enormous power of rage as a vehicle for healing, or possess the skillful means to transform rage from a destructive to a life affirming resource. Rage is fuel, the source of our empowerment. When we embrace this brilliance respectfully, rage teaches us how to live, love, and heal.

Self-help authors rarely distinguish between anger and rage, but Ruth King has devoted her career to exploring the subtle varieties of rage, while challenging the notion that rage is an ?evil? emotion that must be eradicated. In Healing Rage, she gives all readers access to her pioneering, breakthrough program, which has already changed thousands of lives through workshops nationwide.

Rage, King explains, sits at the crossroads of personal transformation. Those of us seeking more self-awareness will inevitably stumble upon personal rage on the path. Rage is not to be understood as a useless emotion, empty of story or knowledge, but as clarity and untapped fuel. Embraced with compassion, the energy trapped in rage becomes an intimate and empathic teacher offering balance, integrity, and inner peace to your healing journey, relationships, and service.

King identifies six common disguises of rage (dominance, defiance, devotion, distraction, depression, and dependence) and provides healing exercises including:

* Discover your rage inheritance and how to transform your legacy.
* Learn how to Look Within before Acting Out.
* Learn how to break habitual pain patterns in relationships.
* Learn how to center yourself again and again in difficult situations.
* Learn how to stay true to yourself when others are raging.
* And learn how to stop contributing to your own suffering.

Many of us go through our lives maintaining a good front. We may have all of the trappings?good job, higher education, and material gain--yet we have an inherent discontent with our lives that won?t go away. Written for every woman?ranging from counselors and their patients to those who may not realize that rage is at the root of their unhappiness and have just begun to seek new paths of hope?Healing Rage is a unique invitation for transformation.
