Right. Bit of a left turn this one. But Tessa had to teach this to her teenage cousin recently and she doesn't want the information in her head anymore. She firmly believes that if you've completely failed to learn The Tempest all year and the exam is very soon, she can get you over the line in the next 30 minutes.

Did you know that anger is actually helpful? Stevie and Tessa have learned that every human experiences anger, but often women (and some men of course!) are socialised to repress it causing all kinds of problems. So if you’re thinking, “I never get angry” - perhaps you should?! If this sounds very clever and psychological that’s because it is (Stevie did a lot of googling), so strap in and learn how to communicate anger, what to do when it rears its (possibly not so ugly) head, and how to make it your friend.Want to support Nobody Panic?

Terrible at packing? Always bring too many things and eight pairs of high heels ‘just in case’?
