| Goes from 0 to 100 in seconds | The warning signs came earlier and got missed. | Track what happened 30 minutes before the blow-up. |
| Throws or breaks things when mad | The body needs somewhere for the energy to go. | Clear the space. Offer a pillow to throw instead. |
| Hurts others, then cries hard after | Remorse is real — the control just wasn't there yet. | Repair after calm: "Your hands hurt. Let's make it right." |
| Gets aggressive only with you | You are the safe person. It comes out where it's safe. | It's not personal. Stay calm and hold the line. |
| Can't hear you mid-rage | The thinking brain is fully offline. | Few words, safe distance, wait for the wave to pass. |
