I have found meditation to help me more than therapy - meditation is both calming and energizing for me. Meditation has never mocked me, blamed me for its mistakes, or intentionally messed with me like therapists do. It is in my control, does not involve another human, and I don't have to pay for it. Those would all put it ahead of therapy for me. As I would never subjugate myself to pharmaceutical companies and mds - drugs don't even make my list.
