In this episode of The Anger Management Podcast, anger expert Alastair Duhs explores the Four Horsemen of relationship breakdown—criticism, contempt, defensiveness and stonewalling—and more importantly, how to replace them with healthier, more constructive behaviors. If you're ready to protect and strengthen your connection, this episode is your roadmap.Key Takeaways:Criticism chips away at connection: Focus on expressing your needs with “I” statements instead of blaming or attacking your partner’s character.Contempt is the most toxic dynamic: Sarcasm, eye-rolling and superiority destroy respect. The antidote is appreciation—notice and name what your partner does well.Defensiveness blocks growth: Instead of explaining or blaming back, try taking responsibility, even for a small part of the problem.Stonewalling shuts down the relationship: If you're overwhelmed, pause to self-soothe—but always come back to the conversation.Every pattern can be changed: With awareness, practice and the right tools, you can shift from conflict to connection—and build a relationship that lasts.Links referenced in this episode:angersecrets.com — Learn more about anger managementangersecrets.com/training — Watch the free training: Control Your Anger in 7 Daysangersecrets.com/course — Enrol in The Complete Anger Management System
