Mind Pilot EP 88
If anger feels constant, this episode gives you a fast, three step reset, reflect on how you handle anger, make a plan before you get home tired and grumpy, and set boundaries early so tension does not pile up. Dr. Jana explains why some people ignite faster, how sleep debt and heavy workloads push agitation, and how your brain may chase its usual adrenaline level by picking fights over small things. You will leave with simple texts to send before a blowup, ideas for sharing breaks as a couple, and boundary phrases that defuse snark without drama. This is part one of a three part series that helps you protect your relationships and your peace.
Topics Covered
- SELF ASSESSMENT: identify your anger patterns when calm, consider sleep, workload, and frequency
