Hello and welcome to the very first episode of the Anger Management Podcast.

Alistair Dewes:

I'm your host, Alistair Dewes, and over the last 30 years, I've taught over 15,000 men and women to control their anger, master their emotions, and create calmer, happier, and more loving relationships.

In this podcast, I combine my 30 years of anger management experience with the power of artificial intelligence to share with you some of the most powerful tools, techniques, and strategies I've taught my clients over the years to help them control their anger and live calmer, happier, and more peaceful lives.

Alistair Dewes:

Today, I've asked my AI assistants, Jake and Sarah to introduce this podcast to you.

Alistair Dewes:

Join them in our very first deep dive into what the Anger Management Podcast is, what we'll be covering, and how this podcast can help you take control of your anger and create a calmer, more peaceful and harmonious environment for yourself and all those around you.

Alistair Dewes:

Make sure you stick around to the end of this episode, too, where I'll share some final thoughts on this episode and let you know how to access my help to control your anger once and for all.

Alistair Dewes:

With that said, let's get started into today's Deep Dive.

Jake:

Hey, everyone.

Jake:

So for today's deep Dive, we're going to be gearing up for a brand new podcast called Anger Management.

Jake:

It's hosted by this guy, Alistair Duz, and he's a total expert in the field.

Sarah:

Yeah, his work is really interesting.

Sarah:

He's been doing this for over 30 years, helping people, like, figure out their anger and, you know, actually use it to make positive changes.

Jake:

30 years, wow.

Jake:

So that's not just an expert, that's a guru.

Sarah:

Yeah.

Jake:

So we're going to be your guides for this anger management journey.

Jake:

Right.

Jake:

To guide you through all the ups and downs of not losing your cool.

Jake:

So think of this deep dive as like your podcast podcast orientation.

Jake:

You know, we're going to break down exactly what you can expect from all the weekly episodes, the kind of tools and strategies we'll be exploring together, and most importantly, how you can use this stuff to make a real difference in your life.

Sarah:

Right.

Sarah:

And you know, what's really important to remember is that it's not about suppressing anger because it is a natural emotion, like you're going to feel anger.

Sarah:

It's about understanding it and then managing it.

Sarah:

And then we can even talk about how we can maybe use it as a force for positive change.

Sarah:

You might be surprised how empowering that can actually feel to really own that.

Jake:

So each week we'll be kind of diving into all these different aspects of anger management, and we'll be talking about things like recognizing those early warning signs.

Jake:

You know, that feeling you get right before you're about to blow a gasket.

Jake:

Think of it as developing your own personal anger radar.

Sarah:

Yeah.

Sarah:

And we'll go beyond just recognizing it.

Sarah:

We're going to equip you with, like, practical in the moment techniques to help you regain control, especially when that anger.

Sarah:

Anger starts to just kind of flare up.

Sarah:

And one of the techniques we'll explore is called cognitive restructuring, where you actually learn to challenge those negative thoughts that fuel anger.

Jake:

Yeah.

Jake:

So it's almost like rewiring your brain to respond differently, right?

Jake:

Yeah.

Jake:

Instead of going from 0 to 50 in, like, a split second, you're kind of hitting the brakes and you're choosing a more thoughtful response.

Sarah:

Exactly.

Sarah:

And as we go through the weeks, we're going to dig deeper into, like, the psychology behind anger.

Sarah:

Will explore the role of self awareness, like, in making those conscious decisions, especially when you're feeling really heated, because, let's face it, anger hijacks our thinking.

Jake:

Oh, yeah.

Sarah:

And that leads to these impulsive actions that we might regret later.

Jake:

Oh, I've been there.

Jake:

It's like.

Jake:

It's like anger puts on those.

Jake:

Those beer goggles for your brain, distorts everything.

Sarah:

That is a great analogy.

Jake:

But self awareness is like having a designated driver for your emotions.

Sarah:

Yes.

Sarah:

Love it.

Jake:

It helps you stay in control.

Sarah:

Yeah.

Sarah:

It's about expressing your feelings assertively, but, of course, respectfully.

Which is a game changer.

Not just for anger management, but your relationship.

Jake:

Right.

Jake:

Totally.

Jake:

So it's like.

Jake:

It's like learning the secret code to healthy communication.

Sarah:

Yes.

Jake:

And the cool thing is these communication skills aren't just for when you're angry.

Sarah:

Right.

Jake:

They come in handy in all sorts of situations like work, family, even that awkward encounter with your neighbor who never picks up after their dog.

Sarah:

Oh, I know that one.

Sarah:

You'd be surprised how many conflicts can be avoided or even resolved peacefully just by mastering the art of clear and respectful communication.

Sarah:
