Hi comstible,
For what it's worth, I really respect what your therapist is telling you. Mindfulness is closely related to what really helped me and there are multiple people here who got great success just from meditation. However, they all say that you have to stick with it a while (1-2 weeks they say) before you start to see the true benefits.
Here is something that you might want to try. It's really worked for me and for others too

you might also want to see #45 in that thread with purely medical issues to check. There are a surprising number medical/nutritional issues that can cause depression.
