About
It was only a glass of water. Someone knocked it over, and you snapped, louder and sharper than the spill deserved. Then the room went quiet, and you wondered why you just did that. If you keep exploding over small things, it's rarely about the small thing. It's the last drop in a glass that was already full, made of stress, tiredness and hurt that never got said out loud. This is a short, honest message for anyone who feels ashamed after losing their temper, whatever your gender or age. It doesn't make you a bad person, it's not a weakness, and it's something you can change. This episode looks at what's happening in plain words, why small things set you off, and simple steps to pause, understand what's underneath, and repair afterwards.
