Dr. Dee said things everyone can relate to. I appreciate her honesty and vulnerability.

Dee's delivery is so relatable + relaxed. I love how she explained that it’s okay to not be okay.

If You're Angry, You're Not Alone.
Every direction I turn, I find women who are trying to mask, hide, repress or deny their anger…and we’ve got to stop this, it’s quite literally killing us.
A new report in 2022 stress, anxiety, worry, sadness and anger among women worldwide are at a 10-year high. 38% of women suffer from one or more chronic stress related health issues, which are often underdiagnosed, so in reality this number is likely much higher.
These feelings don't just appear, they're in response to the world around us.
Does this sound familiar?
Between home life, work life, and society in general there’s a constant stream of shit to be pissed about.
There’s always low-grade frustration simmering, and if you really stopped to think about it, you’d realize that there’s molten hot lava running through your veins. You find yourself thinking - and even screaming (no judgment here) - “WTAF!!” at a rapidly increasing and alarming frequency. More often than not, you lay awake at night with your blood boiling over the injustices you’ve encountered. You’ve bitten your tongue so many times that you’re scared you might accidentally bite it clean off.
You fear what expressing your anger might do to your relationships and reputation.
You realize that you resent a lot of the people around you, you're sick of the unfair imbalances in workload, expectations, demands, and participation. You’ve worried more about what others would think about you, attempting to please them and keep them happy, rather than say or do something about the things that make you mad. You try so hard to “just be happy” that you end up pushing the anger and frustration aside until you just can’t anymore and end up snapping at the smallest little thing.
As hard as you try to not be angry, you find yourself exploding and reacting to the smallest things - or using so much more energy attempting not to.
You spend a lot of energy ruminating about shit that pissed you off… all the times you wish you would have spoken up about, pushed back on, or just walked away to protect your peace. If one more person asks if you’re on your period when you express anger you might just snap, once and for all. You’ve been told more times than you can count that you’re “too emotional” or “so passionate” when really, you’re just sharing what’s important to you.
And the things that used to work to contain your anger just aren’t working anymore…
Clenching your teeth, tightening up, and grinding your teeth just aren’t cutting it anymore. There’s nothing left to rage clean. You’re angry but you just don’t know what to do with it…which you recognize is dangerous because you’re teetering on the edge of helplessness and/or hopelessness and utter exhaustion.
You wonder how and when you became so “irrational,” and maybe, just maybe, if you’re crazy because damn near everything pisses you the eff off.
!
Friend: Your anger is valid. It’s not wrong. And you are most certainly NOT crazy. Your anger is sacred, righteous, and welcome here.
Welcome to The Anger Academy.
I know you’ve been taught otherwise, but there’s nothing wrong with you if you’re angry. Most every woman I’ve met feels herself in those exasperating examples. This is why I created this program, in honor of all the angry women who desire change.
We’re upending a lifetime of conditioning, and developing a healthy relationship with our rage.
In The Anger Academy we’re asking (and answering!) the Big Questions:
- Why aren’t we allowed to be angry?
- What is anger and how do I reclaim it?
- How do I use anger to fuel revolutionary change?
What we'll cover...
-
MODULE 1
We’ll unpack the social conditioning, socialization, systems of oppression and dehumanization that tells us that we can’t or shouldn’t be angry (that we should just smile more), so you’ll understand why you’ve had such a complicated relationship with anger, being seen and heard in your anger, and all the ways that women’s anger has been dismissed and minimized.
-
MODULE 2
We’ll explore what anger is, why you experience it, how it’s part of emotional wellness, and how to befriend and trust it, so you can embrace anger as the powerful messenger and know how to convert it to sustainable fuel for change. We’ll examine the ways that anger becomes toxic when we don’t process and release it, and how to break free of these unhealthy patterns so that you can move beyond explosive and reactive expressions of anger and know how to lovingly and reliably respond to it instead.
-
MODULE 3
We’ll reclaim our anger by examining and releasing the “nice/good girl” programming that has us prioritizing people-pleasing and toxic positivity over emotional honesty. We'll begin to create and express boundaries, based upon your priorities, needs and values.
-
MODULE 4
We’ll discover the nature of anger in creating individual and collective change - both historically, more recently, and how it will be front and center in the next revolution so that we can truly own the long lineage of women’s anger as a powerful transformative phenomenon (which is exactly why they don’t allow us to be angry in the first place).
-
MODULE 5
We’ll convert your anger into sustainable fuel for personal, professional, community and societal change…and know exactly how you’re going to start using it for good. You’ll proudly be able to say “I’m angry AND I’m doing something about it.”
Hi! I'm Dr. Dee Frayne
I have a lifelong experience of being told that I’m “too emotional,” “too passionate,” “too abrasive,” and that I should just “smile more.”
Fuck that.
I’ve come to realize how I’ve never accepted the social conditioning about women and anger…it’s why I’ve always pushed back, pushed harder for change, and chosen to leave when jobs, communities, and relationships have been out of integrity, disingenuous, unjust and unwilling to do anything about it. I’ve always been deeply connected to my values, beliefs and sense of justice and integrity.
It’s why I’ve spent my career working in community building leading a number of international NGOs, championing change through advocacy and activism, and working with thousands of coaching clients -- because I want my work to make this world a better place, to make a difference, to relieve unnecessary suffering, to promote human flourishing.
I love nothing more than helping feminist leaders and changemakers lead the fight against social inequality and systemic oppression. I want to help you BE the change so that you can LEAD the change…without the burnout, overwhelm, pressure and punishment.
The Anger Academy is one of many programs I offer, designed to help us embody The Feminist Future now.
I loved how real Dr. Dee was with her presentation and delivery. I didn’t feel like I was being preached to, which was very appreciated.
Lindsey A.
I’m already a Dee fan but I take away something every time I’m around her. I’m a better person and look forward to working with her in one of her programs.

Frequently Asked Questions...
How much time will it take to complete The Anger Academy?
The program is self-paced, but is recommended to complete in a month or less for the most potent results. The five modules are X hours. The workbook, depending on how accustomed you are to journaling, will take between X-X hours to complete. There’s also the three bonus sessions that are 3 hours. So the total time commitment is between X-X hours.
Do you have a refund policy?
While it’s the policy of many digital product creators to not offer a refund policy, if you are genuinely unhappy and displeased with The Anger Academy please contact us and we will make it right. Our goal is for you to be empowered, elevated and inspired by this content, and if it falls short, we promise not to have you walk away disappointed or disillusioned.
Are you promoting violence by telling women to own their rage?
Ample studies have shown that there’s a difference between righteous rage and violent anger. Righteous rage occurs when moral, ethical, mental, emotional or physical standards, expectations, values and boundaries have been violated. It’s most often a reaction to unjust and unequal treatment, a response to some form of dehumanization and minimization of an individual's needs. Violent anger is a reaction from an unexpected imbalance in power relationships, where the violent party is reacting to the violation of the power dynamic (eg. women should submit to the authority and dominance of men, POC should submit to authority and dominance white people). Violence is used as a “corrective” action in an attempt to force the target to accept the hierarchical power structure.
Do you have group rates, sponsorships or scholarships?
Group rates can be arranged. The program is also offered at no cost to members of partner organizations like 1M4. Currently there is no formal scholarship program, but individual cases will be considered. For more information about group rates, sponsorships or scholarships, please contact us.
Is this program accessible?
Yes. Both video with captions, audio files, and written transcripts are provided. If you have any further accessibility needs, please do not hesitate to contact us and we will do everything we can to meet them.
Is this program only for women?
No! Absolutely not. Anyone who wants to be a part of The Feminist Future is welcome here... the future where we've thrown out systems of oppression and inequality; where all humans are equally valued, honored, cherished and celebrated; where love, peace, and respect replace dominance, fear, and control/coersion; where community and collective care replaces toxic individualism and resource manipulation/hoarding...this is a safe space for all loving and respectful humans. Dogs too. We <3 dogs.
