Understanding Anger as a Natural Emotion
Anger is a normal and healthy part of the human emotional spectrum.

The key lies in addressing the underlying injury hidden within anger rather than focusing on the anger itself or feeling shame for not being able to control it.

Understanding Substance Use Humanistically
Substance use is a common and complex aspect of human behavior.
At times, using substances, such as coffee with the right amount of caffeine and a daily routine, can be constructive and helpful. However, overuse can lead to various impacts. Challenges arise when we lose control of the amount and develop dependency. The issue isn't drinking coffee itself, but rather the underlying factors that drive one to consume excessive amounts of coffee.
