In this episode, anger expert Alastair Duhs walks through seven signs that anger may be causing real problems in your life. Whether it is a short fuse that surprises even you, relationships where someone walks on eggshells, or a quiet part of you wondering if others might be right, this episode helps you look honestly at where you stand.

Rather than offering generic reassurance, Alastair walks through each sign with honesty and care, making clear that recognising the problem is not a weakness. It is the starting point for change.

And the good news is that most people do not need years of therapy to turn this around. They need the right tools and a willingness to look clearly at their patterns.

Key Takeaways:

  • Anger itself is not the problem. The problem is when it gets expressed in ways that hurt you or the people around you. That is the line worth paying attention to.
  • Your body often knows you are angry before your mind does. A clenched jaw, a racing heart, tension in your shoulders. Learning to read these signals early is often the difference between staying in control and losing it.
  • Frequently regretting what you say or do after an anger episode is a clear signal. If you are regularly apologising and wishing you could unsay things, your anger is getting ahead of you.
  • The person holding a grudge suffers more than anyone else. Letting go is not about excusing what someone did. It is about freeing yourself from the weight of carrying it.
  • If someone in your life has told you that your anger is a problem, take it seriously. It takes courage to say that to someone. They risked your reaction because they care enough to try.
