Why does someone suffer from a thought they push to the back of the mind ? Let me guess - its resting in the subconscious mind ? I think mindfulness has the potential to be harmful as well as good because what if one day you think 'this ain't working anymore' so you are left with unresolved problems - what then ? More mindfulness ? I agree it probably beneficial to people with less serious problems but people with serious problems it is useless as if they can hardly get out of bed they ain't thinking anyway they are just numb so they are doing mindfulness anyway as they are basically a crazy person with no thoughts
