@June@kitty.town agreed. Tbh, calling meditation practices and the like 'mindfulness' is a little bit of a red flag for me.
One of my pet peeves around modern American psychiatric care is the abysmal quality of their "mindfulness" education. Is it a great tool? Yes! But if anyone's maintained a personal practice for any amount of time, the level of knowledge in most clinical settings is... Nowhere near enough to be remotely useful.
I suspect.. ✨racism✨! Because, like, why in the world would these people think they're qualified to talk about this stuff, otherwise?? Bleh.
Thanks for the book recommendation!

I also think it is difficult for meaningful instruction on mindfulness and meditation to survive being pummeled into a convenient narrative for corporate america.
"You don't need higher wages, more walkable and humanely designed communities, affordable healthcare or time off from work, you need a change in perspective!"

@Alonealastalovedalongthe @June@kitty.town "...but not enough of a change in perspective that management needs to use new language. Please change yourself, but not in any way that impacts us."
