    It really isn’t for everyone! There can even be negative side effects for people with some kinds of mental illness. (depersonalization and derealization are the big problems it can lead to, i think)

    If you want to try it again, though, i had some small luck sticking with like 2 minute sessions. And sometimes when I’m stressed now I’ll sit in my car and do the exercises for a bit and it can help, years after i made it in an organized thing i did.
