- Book Synopsis
- The Times Self-Help Book of the Year 2024 'Jennifer's intelligence, compassion and experience as a psychotherapist make this a game-changer and a must-read for women and the men who love us.' Shaparak Khorsandi 'A revelation and resource for not just women, but everyone.' Soraya Chemaly, author of Rage Becomes Her and The Resilience Myth What if you aren't depressed? What if you don't have chronic fatigue? What if you are just... angry? In a world where patience is a virtue and being a good girl is for life, women are never allowed to truly express their anger - and it is making us ill. After a lifetime of being told to repress it, to hide it away and fear it, anger has begun to manifest in female bodies in myriad ways we can't control. And the results are alarming. In this powerful and eye-opening book, psychotherapist Jennifer Cox takes us on a journey from cradle to grave revealing how, at every stage of our lives, women are conditioned not to speak out or 'make a fuss'. Jennifer draws on her wealth of therapeutic experience to show us how to tune in to our feelings of frustration and offers us the tools to express what we have subdued for so long.
- About The Author
- Jennifer Cox trained as a forensic psychotherapist at the Tavistock Clinic, and has a Masters in Neuroscience. Jennifer has an extensive international psychotherapy practice based in London, specialising in the experience of the female condition. In 2024, she published Women Are Angry: Why Your Rage Is Hiding And How To Let It Out, which won The Times and Sunday Times Best Self-Help Book of the Year. She co-hosts the Women Are Mad podcast, a magnet for high profile guests from Elif Shafak to Jameela Jamil to Sophie Ellis Bextor, Kathy Lette and Nina Stibbe, as well as Philippa Perry, Stella Creasy, Hayley Morris and Jess Phillips MP. Jennifer's new spin-off podcast, Between The Lines: Writers On The Couch launches onto the WAM platform in the new year, and her documentary series - based on the themes of this book and Women Are Angry - is currently in development with Brian Cox's BBC producer. She is also involved in a TV project, co-hosting with writer and campaigner Jess Davies entitled Adolescence: A Year On, What's Changed? with the team behind Idris Elba's knife crime and Liz Carr's assisted suicide documentaries. Jennifer is a regular contributor to both print and broadcast press, with weekly requests from diverse sources for both her social commentary and practical life hacks. She's also becoming firmly established on the speaking circuit, appearing this autumn at both the Forbes Power Women's Summit in Belgrade and the Exhale Festival alongside Julia Samuel, Donna Ashworth and David Larbi. She's also been invited to host her own Seed Talk in London, which is going ahead in November.
