Struggling with anger issues, emotional outbursts, or controlling frustration? In this podcast, I, Dr. Suzanne Simpson, team up with anger management expert Alistair Moes to dive into the psychology of anger, its triggers, and powerful strategies for managing it effectively. Together, we explore the root causes of anger, its impact on the brain and body, and the importance of expressing anger in a healthy way for emotional well-being. We discuss key topics like the link between anger and shame, why we often find it difficult to manage anger, and practical techniques for anger management. Alistair also shares insights from his book, Lose Your Temper, offering valuable tools for improving emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and stress management. Whether you’re seeking mental health advice or proven methods to handle difficult emotions, this conversation is packed with essential takeaways for personal growth.
