What is anger, really? In this thought-provoking episode, anger expert Alastair Duhs joins Jake and Sarah to explore the emotion beneath the outbursts. Together, they unpack what anger truly is, why it takes over so fast and how understanding it can unlock the first step to real change.

If you’ve ever felt like your anger controls you, or wondered if it has to, this episode will change the way you think.

Key Takeaways:

-Anger isn’t your actions, it’s the emotion underneath. Understanding that difference is the key to breaking the anger cycle.

-Your thoughts and perceptions, not just the events themselves, are what trigger anger.

-Recognising early warning signs of anger and using tools like deep breathing can help you interrupt angry reactions in real time.

-Techniques like cognitive restructuring help shift how you interpret situations, reducing emotional intensity.

Managing anger isn’t about suppressing it. It’s about learning to channel it in constructive, respectful ways.
