About this episode

For more information on how to control your anger, visit angersecrets.com.

In this deeply moving episode, anger expert Alastair Duhs shares the powerful transformation of Cameron—a husband, father and successful businessman—who took brave steps to change the legacy of anger in his family.

After a painful outburst left his daughter afraid, Cameron realised he was repeating patterns he swore he’d never pass on. What followed was a journey of self-awareness, emotional growth and quiet victories that began with enrolling in The Complete Anger Management System.

Key Takeaways:

-Recognising anger patterns—especially those modeled in childhood—is the first step toward breaking them.

-Emotional abuse doesn’t require physical violence; creating an unstable environment through tone and reaction can be just as harmful.

-Small, conscious shifts—like responding with calm empathy instead of anger—can rebuild trust in relationships.

-Early warning signs of anger offer an opportunity to pause and choose a new response before things escalate.

-Cameron’s story highlights the power of self-awareness, reflection and learning new emotional skills—even later in life.

-Online anger management allows for flexible, private and personalised growth at your own pace.
