For more information on how to control your anger, visit angersecrets.com . You're in the middle of an argument and you know where it's headed. But what if you could change the outcome before things spiral out of control? In this essential episode, anger expert Alastair Duhs reveals how to recognise the signs of escalating conflict and use simple, proven repair techniques to stop fights before they start and strengthen your relationship instead. Key Takeaways: -Every argument offers a choice: escalate the fight or repair the connection. -The first step to de-escalating conflict is recognising your own signs of rising anger. -Reminding yourself that the relationship matters more than “being right” helps calm tension. -Repair attempts, like a kind tone, humor, a break or physical affection can powerfully shift the dynamic. -Noticing and accepting your partner’s repair attempts builds trust and prevents emotional damage.
