In the US most rehabs are based on a 12 step program yet 12 step programs have only a 10% success rate. Nearly half of battered women go back to their abuser. Finding a job is next to impossible with a less than perfect job history for whatever reason. Rehabs, correctional facilities, battered women shelters or homeless shelters and after medical treatment such as chemo or physical rehab there is no exit plan. You go, you stay and there isn't a bridge to cross the murky waters you face once they "fix" you. Society has "norms" and once you step outside of those "norms" there is a stigma that is so hard to get past. This stigma is what keeps us from feeling like we're acceptable. What most people fail to realize is that those "norms" are archaic and no longer relevant. Mindfulness teaches that to worry about the past is depression and to worry about the future is anxiety. I feel that most of us are depressed because we didn't meet societal "norms" and are also anxious trying to meet them. STOP IT!! Just be you!!
