“I thought I understood my client’s rage. Then she smiled while describing her mother’s funeral, and I realised I’d been missing everything.”

Three months after Dr Jan Hepburn’s ground-breaking webinar on unprocessed anger, the questions keep coming. Not the polite, theoretical ones from the public Q&A—but the raw, middle-of-the-night doubts that follow you home from difficult sessions.

What happens when your carefully honed anger interventions meet the client who laughs at tragedy? When passive-aggression masquerades so perfectly as compliance that you question your own clinical judgment? When the revenge fantasies are so seductive that even you feel pulled into the narrative?

This isn’t another webinar. It’s the conversation that happens after the crowd goes home—intimate, unscripted, and unflinchingly honest about what really unfolds in the therapy room when anger refuses to follow the textbook.

The Gaps That Keep You Awake

In February, hundreds of therapists joined Jan’s exploration of anger’s hidden territories. But some questions can’t be answered in a public forum. Some clinical moments are too complex, too nuanced, too personally challenging to unpack with an audience of strangers watching.

How do you hold your own anger when a client’s blame feels justified?
When does therapeutic patience become collusion with avoidance?
What about the clients whose anger feels dangerous—not just to others, but to the therapeutic frame itself?

These are the questions that surface weeks later, when you’re three sessions deep with Anna-like clients whose politeness masks something volcanic, or when Leo’s need for revenge starts making uncomfortable sense.

What This Hour Offers

Your Questions, Jan’s Insights

No prepared slides, no structured agenda. Just you, your most pressing clinical dilemmas, and Jan’s decades of experience in real-time conversation.

The Cases That Keep You Up at Night

Bring those anger-related scenarios that have been circling in your mind—the ones too intricate for supervision, too personal for peer consultation. This is your chance to think through them with someone who truly understands the territory.

Clinical Wisdom in Real Time

Whether you’re grappling with a client whose politeness masks volcanic rage or facing your own anger in response to a client’s blame, Jan will meet your questions where they are—unscripted and authentic. The kind of learning that happens when an expert clinician responds to your actual dilemmas, not theoretical scenarios.

Why After Hours?

Some learning requires privacy. The willingness to admit uncertainty, to share cases that didn’t go according to plan, to acknowledge the moments when your own anger or fear shaped the session—these conversations demand trust and confidentiality that only a small, committed group can provide.

This isn’t about exclusivity for its own sake. It’s about creating the container necessary for the kind of learning that transforms practice.

The clients who challenge us most aren’t found in textbooks. They’re sitting across from us on Tuesday afternoon, and they deserve our most honest, sophisticated response.

This intimate follow-up session is exclusively available to Insight Circle members, with a limited number of places reserved for select practitioners by personal invitation.

“The clients we remember aren’t the ones who got better easily. They’re the ones who forced us to question everything we thought we knew. This hour is for those clients—and for you.” — Dr Jan McGregor Hepburn
