Is mindfulness always safe?

In this episode of Love Your Love Muscle, we explore a topic rarely discussed in the wellness world: how mindfulness and meditation can sometimes contribute to depressive symptoms.

While meditation is widely praised for reducing stress and anxiety, it can also intensify rumination, emotional flooding, dissociation, or unresolved trauma, especially when practiced without proper guidance or regulation skills.

This episode isn’t anti-meditation. It’s pro-safety, pro-context, and pro-intelligent practice.

If you’ve ever felt darker instead of lighter after mindfulness, this episode will help you understand why, and what to do instead.
