    My temper can flare pretty quickly.

    I find I am easily sucked into responding to situations, and my typical response is to get defensive, and then I escalate pretty quickly.

    Find what works for you – perhaps walking away, or making a mental note that when you feel a little warm faced / (or whatever pre-trigger you identify) that you have an action plan to act on.

    To be honest, it doesn’t always work, even whilst being cognizant of it as I have put into place a plan for myself.

    If it is a loved one, try to explain your love for them, your care for them – and your desire to not have the behavior.

    It may also help if you have a relationship with that person, to ask that they signal / cue you in to when you are heating up a bit.
