I Teach Meditation. Here's When It Makes Anxiety Worse

from In Your Right Mind with Monique Rhodes · host Monique Rhodes

There are moments when meditation will make your anxiety worse, and almost nobody in my field will say that out loud. If you've ever sat down to meditate while genuinely anxious and got up feeling worse than when you started, you didn't fail at it and you're not bad at this. You were using the right tool at the wrong moment, and nobody told you there was a difference. I explain exactly why it backfires when you're already struggling, why the same practice is lovely on a calm day, and the rule I use to decide when to sit down and when to do something else entirely.
