Why You Keep Losing Control in Conversations (And What’s Really Driving It) | Ep 52

If you’ve ever been told you’re “angry all the time,” but it doesn’t feel that simple to you, this episode will likely hit closer than you expect. Because the issue usually isn’t just anger. It’s what’s happening underneath it. In this episode, we break down why you keep losing control in certain conversations, even when you don’t want to, and why trying to “stay calm” hasn’t actually solved it. You’ll start to see how these reactions are tied to something deeper, how you’re being perceived, how you handle pressure, and what you’re unconsciously trying to avoid in those moments.
