Men often experience anger more intensely and frequently, which can lead to aggression, isolation, and substance abuse if unaddressed.

Recognizing signs like outbursts and withdrawal is key. Managing anger through exercise, deep breathing, and assertive communication promotes healthier relationships and well-being. Seeking help breaks stigma and builds resilience.

Last week, Doctor Doan (100k + YouTube subscribers) flew to Arizona to interview the founders of Holdfast Recovery and Anchorpoint Residential Center.

In this powerful interview, they dive deep into the mission behind Holdfast Recovery — a faith-based addiction recovery center grounded in Christian values, clinical excellence, and physical wellness.

You’ll hear from co-founder Brendan McDonough, the lone survivor of the tragic Granite Mountain Hotshot fire that claimed 19 of his brothers. Brendan shares his journey through addiction, PTSD, and ultimately, redemption — a story that inspired both a bestselling book and a major motion picture.

They also sit down with co-founder Tim Hayden and Dr. Hansen to explore their groundbreaking trauma-informed "NeuroFaith" therapy model that beautifully bridges neuroscience and faith which is also covered in their book NeuroFaith: The Intersection of Science and Faith in the Healing of Truama and Addiction (available free on Holdfast Recovery Website)

Don't miss DJ Joos — a HAZMAT/FIRE CAPTAIN (RET) and program graduate — as he shares how Holdfast helped him reclaim his life and purpose.
