I'm just wondering about mindfulness. I have gotten approved for the 10 free (govt paid) sessions of therapy scheme. I saw the psych the first time and she seems ok to me. But straight away she told me we are going to do mindfulness.

The last 3 therapists I had, we did mindfulness. The first time it was for 3.5 years, the second for 6 months and the third for 6 months (so I gave it a good crack). It has never helped me or done anything at all, to be honest (other than make me angry). So I'm just wondering, is it worth me doing it all over again? The last therapist said I had no mind/body connection or something to that effect, and thats why it does nothing for me. Not sure if she was just saying that to save face or if she was for real.. no idea. I am so fed up with the mindfulness thing and even hearing that word pisses me off because I am reminded of the years and therapy sessions i wasted on it.

I only have 10 sessions with this woman so I don't want to be wasting them on things that don't work for me. What do you think? Give it another go or maybe focus on something else?
