> mindfulness is the opposite of any therapy I can think of. It is an ego-depletion technique proven to be detrimental to people suffering from anxiety and depression.
This is simply not true. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) are two evidence-based, heavily researched forms of therapy that are intimately connected with mindfulness.
Second, I encourage you to cite the studies that back your claim that mindfulness is detrimental to people suffering from anxiety and depression. I'm not saying your claim is untrue, but such a claim does warrant backing.
> when you have an anxiety attack, the only thing you can do is to perform the grounding exercises.
Also not true. There are many things you can do in addition to or instead of grounding exercises. One is to simply allow it to happen or even try to make the panic worse. Paradoxically, that has been shown to ease the panic attack. I have personally experienced this multiple times. It takes a little practice but it is very effective.
