People can have difficulty tolerating the idea that they have any control over their internal experience
This shit is a lazy response to the reality of a lot of people’s actual experiences and, truthfully, may as well be a postmodern signpost for the allegory of the cave.
I work in homeless services now and help meet people’s very basic needs and try to get them housed. I don’t need you to lecture me about people’s actual experiences, I’ve seen the worst.
Recognizing that anyone can learn to exert more control over their own internal experience does nothing to delegitimize anyone’s life experience. Not only that, I believe it empowers people.
What’s funny is in my anecdotal experience, the group most resistant to the concept of mindfulness are people of privilege
