"When I was sixteen, I was sent to a psychologist because I was told I had an anger problem. "Anger isn’t my problem," I thought, "you're my problem" "You" being the adults in my life who didn't know how to talk to me. When I was told that I was angry, I just believed that I was an angry kid who couldn't change. One day my psychologist told me about a way he learned to let go of some of his anger. He asked if I would give it a go. I was skeptical, but I tried what I now know as mindfulness meditation, and I learned a powerful lesion about how I could change my own reality."
~ Jason Murphy, MA, LMFT, CADACII, ICAP
