Scenario

When mindfulness increases rather than decreases compulsive behaviors

I cannot stop picking at my skin when I am anxious and meditation is supposed to help with this but sitting still just makes me more aware of wanting to pick.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Increased body awareness can initially amplify rather than reduce compulsive behaviors as suppressed nervous system activation seeks release.
