KORVANIAnger isn't the enemy. Missing the signal is.
What anger actually is, the difference between anger and rage, the body signals before you snap, and the tools that work in the 90 seconds that decide everything. From lived experience, not a clinical worksheet.
Anger has been part of my story. I know what it feels like when it takes the wheel before your thinking brain catches up, and I know the regret that can follow.
None of that makes you broken. It makes you human, with a nervous system doing exactly what it was built to do.
Whether anger is a daily fight for you or an occasional surprise, this page is for you.
What peer support for anger is, and what it isn't
Anger is a signal that a boundary got crossed or a need went unmet. It's normal, useful, and human. Rage is what happens when that signal goes unread until it spills into something you regret. The goal was never to stop feeling angry. The goal is to catch it early, in the body, before it becomes rage.
Korvani uses one framework for that. The event happens. Your body signals first. Then your mind writes a story about it. Catch the body signal before the story takes over, and most anger becomes readable.
