Side Effects of Meditation (From a 20-Year Teacher)

Meditation is supposed to bring you peace. Not nightmares. In this video, I share the real side effects of meditation that almost nobody talks about: nightmares, worsening anxiety, and dissociation. This is backed by research from Van Dam (2025), Willoughby Britton at Brown University, and more. If meditation is making things worse for you, you're not broken. You might just need a different approach. 📌 What we cover: 0:00 — The side effects nobody warns you about 0:52 — Why meditation "turns up the lights" 1:20 — Side Effect #1: Nightmares (and what actually helps) 3:34 — Side Effect #2: Anxiety getting worse 5:10 — Side Effect #3: Dissociation 7:18 — What to do about it (practical steps) 8:07 — The most helpful thing 8:27 — Permission to stop 8:41 — When is meditation happening 9:09 — Important Takeaways 🔬 Research cited: • Van Dam et al., 2025 — Clinical Psychological Science • Britton et al., 2021 — Adverse effects in mindfulness programs • Farias et al., 2020 — Adverse event meta-analysis • Cheetah House (cheetahhouse.org) — Support for meditators If you've experienced side effects from meditation, drop a comment.
