Anger is a natural human emotion, but how you react to it matters a lot. In this episode, anger expert Alastair Duhs dives into the differences between anger, abuse and violence.

Alastair explains that feeling angry doesn't mean someone is abusive; it's about how actions can impact others. Alastair also discusses how harmful behaviors that can stem from anger can be changed with awareness and effort.

Recognising patterns of abuse and violence is a brave first step toward healthier relationships and a calmer life. If you want to learn more about managing anger, this episode is a great starting point.

Key Takeaways:

  • Anger is a natural human emotion, just like happiness or sadness.
  • Recognising the difference between feeling anger and acting abusively is crucial for healthy relationships.
  • Abuse is defined by patterns of behavior aimed at controlling or hurting someone, not just by feelings of anger.
  • Both verbal and emotional abuse can cause long-lasting harm, sometimes even deeper than physical abuse.
  • Understanding that anger can trigger harmful actions helps in learning to manage responses better.
  • Growth in anger management starts with awareness, honesty and a commitment to change one's harmful behaviors.
