In this episode of The New Beyond, I sit down with Eric Antonette, a certified anger management specialist, relationship coach, yoga teacher, Reiki master, and regression therapist.

He is trained to handle court-mandated anger management cases and is passionate about helping couples release old behavioral patterns and build relationships rooted in love, respect, and connection.

Eric blends his expertise in yoga, energy healing, and regression therapy to offer a truly holistic approach to personal transformation.

Together, we dive into the topic of Mastering Emotions in Relationships—exploring how we can build healthier, more conscious connections through emotional awareness, personal responsibility, and deep inner work.

Eric shares his personal journey from a childhood marked by family conflict to becoming a powerful guide for others navigating anger, trauma, and relationship challenges. He opens up about how his own healing paved the way for his life’s work and the wisdom he offers to clients today.

Key Topics Discussed:

How unprocessed childhood experiences shape adult relationships.

The importance of allowing and processing emotions rather than suppressing or controlling them.

Tools for regulating the nervous system to move from reactivity to conscious response.

Why anger is often misunderstood as a "bad" emotion and how it can be a powerful guide when addressed constructively.

The “Four Horsemen” of relationship breakdown (criticism, defensiveness, stonewalling, and contempt) as identified by John Gottman, and how to counteract them.

The power of accountability, forgiveness, and making amends in healing relationship dynamics.

“Anger is neutral. It’s our response to it that determines whether it becomes constructive or destructive.” – Eric Antonette

“The only way out is through. We must allow ourselves to feel and process emotions to master them.” – Eric Antonette

“When we are responsible for our emotions, we stop blaming others and step into our true power to create something beautiful in our lives.” – Eric Antonette
