Reviews from HBR Alumni

HBR has been incredibly important to my recovery. Brilliant group leadership, very useful tools introduced, high levels of trust, support and authenticity and the relationships built with fellow group members have been useful beyond what I expected.

As someone who has worked in mental health and addictions treatment since 2004, I have come to know HBR's management team--Michael Berry, Michael Walsh, and Rob de Clark. They are dedicated, experienced professionals. I recommend HBR for those who are unable to attend inpatient treatment.

Health Risks That Make Emotional Regulation Therapy Important

Difficulty regulating emotions can significantly affect mental and physical health over time. Individuals experiencing ongoing emotional dysregulation may be at greater risk of anxiety, depression, chronic stress, relationship conflict, substance misuse, sleep disturbances, and reduced overall quality of life. These challenges may also interfere with work performance, decision-making, and social relationships.

Professional therapy helps individuals better understand emotional responses while developing healthier coping strategies that improve resilience and emotional stability. A 2021 study on treatment for anxiety disorder demonstrates that evidence-based therapies can significantly improve emotional regulation skills while reducing psychological distress and enhancing long-term well-being.

Alcohol-related health risks often develop sooner in women and may progress more quickly. These can include liver complications, cardiovascular strain, increased cancer risk, and worsening mental health. According to the Government of Canada website’s overview of alcohol use and its impacts, women may experience alcohol-related harm at lower levels of consumption compared to men, highlighting the importance of early support. Sleep disruption and hormonal imbalance can also increase cravings, making patterns harder to break without structured care.
