Description
Rage, betrayal, heartbreak, and… cats?
Meet Mike Fisher, the mastermind behind BAAM (British Association of Anger Management) and one of the UK’s top experts on managing anger. Born and raised under Apartheid in South Africa, Mike’s early years were shaped by a volatile world—one that fuelled his deep understanding of rage, imploding emotions, and the cost of burying anger.
In this episode, he breaks down the difference between exploding and suppressing anger, shares personal stories of heartbreak and betrayal, and even weighs in on the dilemma of supporting both Arsenal and Barcelona FC.
A fascinating, fiery, and unexpectedly funny conversation on how to understand, process, and transform anger—without letting it destroy you.
