On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik and mental health coach Davina Hehn cut through the fluff on anger. You’ll learn how to read anger as data (not a defect), use nervous-system tools in the moment, and practice micro-repairs that rebuild trust at home and at work. Practical scripts, time-bound pauses, thought-stopping, and collaboration strategies make this a clear playbook for conflict without collateral damage.

About the guest  :

Davina Hehn is a trained therapist turned mental health coach. She helps people advocate for themselves without causing harm, regulate their nervous systems, and parent with accountability and repair.

Key takeaways  :

• 
  

  Anger is a pointer, not a personality flaw; it flags crossed boundaries, unmet needs, or perceived injustice.

  
  


• 
  

  Do hourly micro-check-ins (jaw, heart rate, “cold-to-hot” scale) to catch activation early.

  
  


• 
  

  Use a 30-second reset: notice body cues, name the need, choose a response over a reaction.

  
  


• 
  

  Radical self-responsibility means holding multiple truths: “What I felt was valid; what I did wasn’t helpful.”

  
  


• 
  

  In-the-moment regulation: breathe with longer exhales; hum or lightly pinch fingertips for bilateral input; stay present.

  
  


• 
  

  Create time-bound pauses: “I’m activated. I need 5 minutes. I’ll come back.” Agree on a neutral cue word as a couple or family.

  
  


• 
  

  Repair with consent and specifics: ask to revisit, share each perspective, name what you’ll do differently next time.

  
  


• 
  

  Aftercare matters: stop rumination with thought-stopping (visual stop sign) to complete the stress cycle.

  
  


• 
  

  Prevention beats penance: set realistic timelines for behavior change; consistency rebuilds trust.

  
  


• 
  

  Litmus test for action: channel anger into changes within your control; avoid rushing to act while still highly activated.
  SEO: anger intelligence, repair over rupture, parenting repair, conflict scripts, nervous system tools, relationship communication.
