Testimonials & Our Stories

Finding myself in a place of low self-worth, and major dysfunctionality with my entire person spiraling out of control, hurting those I try so desperately to protect, I have been the cause of some of the pain in their life. 

In efforts to control the pain in my own life, I resort to ANGER, my biggest weakness. In my research, I have found that anger can have a lot of different causes, and it can be expressed in a variety of ways. Finding the underlying source of anger is the cumbersome part, since what our mind tells us is wrong and what I am reacting to, actually in reality, psychologically, may not be the same thing. 

Addiction can manifest itself in many different forms. It is very subtle and is non-discretionary. At the forefront, most people associate addiction with some sort of substance abuse. On the contrary! During an anger episode, the brain releases dopamine, a reward, which clouds your judgment and can lead to terrifying consequences. This response system controls adrenaline, heart rate, alertness, and other instincts that prepare you for battle or a quick escape. The problem is that many let their anger grow to the point where they are no longer in control and reach a stage where their neurobiology is being rewarded when they become angry. As a result, they become addicted to anger, making it their go-to response mechanism, and anger becomes their vice. This go-to, like many other addictive vices, can be overcome. Recovery is tangible. Recovery is a reality. Even though you cannot see it or touch it, you have at your fingertips what you need to heal and become a better you.    (Written By JH-Anonymous)
