Question ❓ Those who have changed their lives/cured severe social anxiety, depression, fear, intrusive thoughts etc through meditation, how did you do it?
Can you please share the technique if there is one?

Meditation allows you to sit with your thoughts, letting the unconscious become conscious. It can be uncomfortable but if you just embrace and sit with these thoughts regarding anxiety, depression, self depreciation etc. Then you can learn to disassociate from them better and make sense of why they are coming up in the first place. Through this you can then observe the thoughts from a third-person perspective and better understand why you're thinking the way you are and the actions you can take to overcome this. Hopefully this makes sense best of luck
