Meditation isn't about clearing your mind, in any way. Meditation is about practising re-focussing your mind on the object of your meditation. To clear your mind you would need to be dead. This is the single most significant misconception and stumbling block for people trying to start meditation.Originally Posted by Traveller31
In terms of finding the right CBT therapist, it's really difficult to know how you will react to a particular therapist as whether one of them is 'good' or not is quite subjective. It's probably better to go into the process with a positive frame of mind rather than worrying about it not working or you not liking them. I know it's a big step, but in some respects you just have to have faith and dive in. Whatever happens you're not going to be in a worse place than you already are and therapists are quite good at helping you find the right one if you don't gel with them in particular.
