Have you tried these audio guides?

Free Guided Meditations - UCLA Mindful Awareness Research Center - Los Angeles, CA

They're generic mindfulness guides, so they should be broadly applicable.

They helped me in that they made it clear not to try and "force" anything, but to just gently experience and not treat it as an exercise.

Granted, I haven't been able to do much more than sometimes achieve the focus on a single thought or experience, but that helps a little. It's some temporary relief from all the fretting that I also do.
