I imagine this phenomenon generally has less to do with meditation/mindfulness, and more to do with Relaxation-Induced Anxiety: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%22relaxation-induced+anxiety%22 https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%22relaxation-induced+anxiety%22 . Which is its own problem, with its own treatments. Like in programming, reliable reproduction is at least half the battle in solving a bug.
- astrostl 11y agoUpon re-reading the OP, let me stress: generally. As in, various reports and articles about meditation triggering anxiety and/or panic. I am by no means e-diagnosing or responding to anyone in particular! Just noting that Relaxation-Induced Anxiety is a real and treatable problem, and that it would make sense for meditation to be a reliable trigger for it.
- erdojo 11y agoFair enough. Looking into Relaxation-Induced Anxiety :).
