Jason Murphy – Teen Anger, Shut Down Angered Out-Bursts and Arguing Out-Of-Control Behaviors

I was sixteen years old when I was diagnosed with an anger problem. I was sent to see a psychologist. “Anger isn’t my problem,” I thought, “you’re my problem” “You” being the adults in my family who didn’t know how I spoke to them. I didn’t believe that I could change if I was told that my anger was justified. My psychologist shared with me a way he had learned to let go of some anger. He asked me if it was something I would consider trying. I was skeptical at first, but I tried mindfulness meditation and learned a lot about how I can change my reality.
