Have you ever gone from calm to furious in a matter of seconds, and only afterwards wondered, “Where did that come from?”

In this episode of The Anger Secrets Podcast, anger expert Alastair Duhs explains why anger rarely comes out of nowhere. Instead, it’s usually triggered by long-standing patterns that quietly shape how you react in relationships, at work and under stress.

You’ll learn what anger triggers really are, where they come from, and why recognising them early gives you the power to slow things down before anger takes control.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

  1. What anger triggers are and why they feel automatic
  2. Why small moments can activate intense emotional reactions
  3. Common anger triggers, including feeling disrespected, criticised, or overwhelmed
  4. How past experiences and stress fuel present-day anger
  5. Why awareness is the first step to real anger control

Practical tools discussed:

  1. Identifying your personal anger triggers through reflection
  2. Using a diary or journal to spot patterns in your anger
  3. Recognising early warning signs before anger escalates
  4. Challenging unhelpful thoughts through cognitive reframing
  5. When to seek professional support to speed up change

You can’t control other people, but you can control yourself.
