Application of non western study:

Use Mindfulness for a child with Anger issues.

I have used mindfulness at the practicum site after learning about it through another course. I have a client who struggles with anger issues. He deals with this anger at home, in school, and in his hobbies like playing video games. We have worked on his anger throughout multiple sessions in learning mindfulness and eventually being able to use it on his own. He learned breathing techniques in meditation when he is frustrated. He learned to understand how his body feels in frustration. He also learned to be aware of his surroundings when he is angry. The basis that I know this intervention is helpful is similar to this ideology. The child is able to express to me that they are very hard on themselves and that is the reason for their anger a lot of the time. He showed me great progress when he was able to utilize the breathing techniques and understand where his feelings come from at times.
