About this episode

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

Are you telling yourself you'll deal with your anger someday? In this compassionate yet eye-opening episode, anger expert Alastair Duhs breaks down the five most common reasons people avoid anger management — and why those reasons might be keeping you stuck.

If you're ready to stop making excuses and start changing your life, this episode is your wake-up call.

Key Takeaways:

-Believing “anger management won’t work” often stems from past disappointments — but the right tools can lead to real, lasting change.

-You don’t need years of therapy — just a few minutes a day with the right strategies can start to shift your reactions in as little as 21 days.

-Anger management is personal — and modern programs, like Alastair’s, combine universal principles with one-on-one support and coaching.

-The true cost of not dealing with your anger isn’t financial — it’s measured in broken trust, damaged relationships and missed opportunities.

-Even if you’re not tech-savvy, online anger programs are designed to be simple and accessible, with support every step of the way.
