I totally agree. In fact it took me several years to start meditation. I had done it when younger after taking a class and gotten big benefits so I knew it would help and yet it was just one more thing to do. I started downloading podcasts on my iPod by Tara Brach - she's AMAZING (and they're free). In fact she's a therapist herself. After a couple years I just started meditating and sometimes it's only 10 or 15 mins. Even if you don't actually do the practice it is so helpful to learn about some of the Buddhist ideas. They help me to understand my mind and not make it an enemy but yet learn I have some control over it.
