Hi Clara
I hope you get lots of rest after all of your travelling.
I thought you did a really good job writing down notes on how to help yourself with your anger.
I think there is also one other element, at least there was for me. Learning to communicate during disagreements in a healthy way.
Assertive communication styles can be helpful. There is a website, Skills You Need which I found really useful for learning positive communication techniques for difficult conversations. There is a lot of advice online for how to heal damaged relationships as well. I found reading about that helpful when my partner and I were having difficulties.
What has helped us the most during disagreements is validating each other’s emotions. Not being dismissive of each other’s perspective. If giving constructive criticism giving positive feedback as well. Acknowledging when we are trying. Staying very calm is essential for positive communication.
Love and best wishes! ❤️🙏
