Did anyone else have a terrible experience with therapy?

I get so fed up with all the people recommending therapy or meditation. I've only ever had either a neutral or negative experience with traditional talk therapy. And meditation makes me more anxious. I would just like some alternative suggestions. I personally had a good experience with acupuncture, rolfing, and massage. I would like to try reiki to see what that's about. I'm also curious about EDMR.

Meditation isn't for just everyone. Some people think differently. That is neither good nor bad. Maybe you can consider tai chi, or sufi whirling dervish.

You might try some alternative meditations. Walking meditation works for some people who find breath meditation not to their liking.
