What if one moment of clarity could save your relationship? In this heartfelt episode, anger expert Alastair Duhs sits down with Paul, a single father whose anger was slowly pushing away the people he loved most.

When his partner said life felt like “walking on eggshells,” Paul knew something had to change — and in just a few weeks, everything began to shift. This is a story of courage, self-awareness and the power of choosing a different path.

Key Takeaways:

-Constant stress and anger can make home life feel unsafe — even when there’s no physical violence

-Awareness is the first step to change; noticing the signs in your body helps you stop before you snap

-Small changes like pausing and using calm language (“That hurt”) can radically improve communication and connection

-Many people grew up in angry households and inherited poor emotional tools — but you can learn better ones

-Real progress doesn’t happen overnight. It’s gradual, honest, and deeply worth it.

-When someone says, “I have my best friend back,” that’s the real power of anger management
