Reviews from HBR Alumni

I participated in the HBR online addition program at the end of 2023. I am grateful to say I have been sober for 14 months. This is the longest period of sobriety I have experienced in over a decade of trying many programs, pills and plans!

The support, encouragement, cheerleading and wisdom from Michael and the HBR program has been instrumental in my success to date. This was the first time I did a one on one program which really fit my needs at the time. The other programs I tried in the past were group focused with a small portion one on one. I had success for short periods of time but the intensive one on one was my game changer.

I found the encouraging non judgmental support from Michael allowed me to dig deep and express my feelings. I am 60 so that is a lot of digging!! I am grateful that I allowed myself to seek help and bravely work hard.I am grateful HBR was there to stand by me and guide my journey!

Thank you so so much.

I have used HBR's aftercare program every Sunday for about 15 months and can say for certain that it is my favorite meeting i attend ... I've been sober for over a year now and will continue to use them as part of my ongoing recovery program... Anybody looking for sobriety needs to start somewhere and HBR is definitely a great place to start your journey to a better life.

Health Risks That Make Anger Management Therapy Important

Unmanaged anger can affect both emotional and physical health, increasing the risk of anxiety, depression, chronic stress, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, sleep disturbances, and relationship breakdowns. Persistent anger may also contribute to workplace difficulties, legal issues, substance misuse, and reduced overall quality of life if left unaddressed.

Professional anger management and counselling help individuals identify unhealthy behavioural patterns while developing healthier emotional responses. Research suggests that chronic anger and hostility are associated with increased cardiovascular risk and stress-related physiological changes, and that anger-reduction interventions may help lessen these health effects.
