get ahold of someone = get in contact with someone (grab a line of communication)
"I got ahold of the lawyer yesterday to discuss some details."
get ahold of something = to literally grab something, to get your hands on something (acquire it)
"Grab ahold of the reigns as you ride the horse."
"I got ahold of two tickets to the show tomorrow."
get ahold on oneself = get control of your emotions (grasp your emotions and control them)
(To someone panicking) "Get ahold of yourself!"
get a hold (notice the space) on something = to understand something (a grasp on understanding), to control someone or something
"I've got a hold on this word's meaning."
"The magician had a hold on the audience."
