How different would your life be if you experienced difficult emotions for minutes at a time verses days or weeks? Suppose in everyday interactions, you were able to teach your children to deal with frustrations skillfully.

My name is Aaron Bond. First and foremost, I’m a human being just like you. I worry and get anxious. I feel overwhelmed at times.
