In case you missed it—Dr. Britton was featured in a special article in The Atlantic: The Dark Side of Mindfulness.

Mindfulness and meditation are often presented as harmless, universal fixes for stress. But for many practitioners, meditation can sometimes lead to unexpected, distressing, or challenging experiences.

Dr. Britton's research and her work at Cheetah House shed light on these lesser-known effects, bringing much-needed validation and scientific grounding to individuals navigating post-meditation distress.

If you or someone you know has experienced adverse effects from meditation, you are not alone, and there is support available.

We are just two weeks away! On Wednesday, September 9th at 12pm EDT, Dr. Michelle Haslam will present her critical talk on the risks, contraindications, and potential for psychological harm within Buddhist sects.

What makes spiritual abuse so difficult to spot and report? 🛑

According to clinical observation and survivor testimonies, common drivers include:

❌ Using teachings on "karma" and "equanimity" to victim-blame
❌ Labeling trauma and distress as "attachment to self" or "self-cherishing"
❌ Dismissing whistleblowers or accusing them of having a "deluded mind"
❌ The lack of trauma-informed awareness in spiritual and wellbeing settings

What happens when spiritual devotion turns into psychological abuse, labor exploitation, and extreme isolation?

Join us on September 17th for a special "Letters to My Former Self" event featuring comedian and whistleblower Sofia May—former assistant to Lama Tsultrim Allione and key witness in the exposé on the Tara Mandala Buddhist retreat center.

Sofia will share her harrowing personal journey navigating severe emotional abuse, food deprivation, and forced labor under Allione, detailing how core tenets of traditional Tibetan Buddhism were weaponized to enable and conceal coercive control.
