Approach
Choose one short remembrance to say the moment anger rises, and use it every single time.
A prepared word of dhikr catches the anger before it speaks for you.
Catch the first body sign of anger, the jaw, the chest, the heat, and name it there.
Caught early, anger can be chosen. Caught late, it chooses for you.
When anger floods you, step away before you speak, and come back when your body is calm.
Past a certain heat the body cannot hear reason. Leave, settle, and return.
