Well, I would say stop. It's obviously making you more agitated and that's never a good sign. I think meditation can help anxiety but it has to be approached the right way...along with therapy, for example. Or visualization.
I find it kind of presumptuous that someone would claim that a certain thing is a "cure all". This T doesn't even know you that well, how could she tell you what is going to change your life? From my experience, a good T doesn't claim to be able to "heal" or know exactly what "heals".
I know your pdoc doesn't think therapy is a good idea, but if you feel it's worth a shot then I hope you try it. It's your medical situation, after all. When the day's over, only you know what you truly need. If you are struggling with anxiety, then maybe a T could help you come up with strategies to alleviate it.
Finally, I found a wonderful CD that I listen to at night to help me relax. It's called "Ocean Surf" and it's just a recording of waves on the sand. Maybe you'd prefer just nature sounds to relax to.
