My CBT doc suggested that I try the Headspace meditation app and see how I got on with it. Well, the man who is meant to be guiding me through my soothing meditation has a london accent but unfortunately be does pronounce his T's as D's some of the time. This is done in the manner of Smashy and Nicey off of the Harry Enfield Show. When he suggests that I may be "nodicing some disdractions" he is dead right. His phoney accent is all I am able to focus on while I'm meant to be emptying my mind.
On the positive side there is also a sleep meditation which is guided by a woman with a genuine american accent who actually sounds very nice. She shows me around her redwood treehouse most nights. <3 There are very slight variations each time but I suspect that the repetition will start to irritate me after a couple of weeks.
I've noticed that sometimes at the end of a meditation when I'm meant to be all relaxed and agreeable a message will come up suggesting that I might like to let all my friends on social media know how great Headspace is or suggesting that I spend some money on more of their wonderful products. This doesn't work on me because I am rarely relaxed at the end. This attempt to manipulate the vulnerable punters does sicken me a bit though.
I wouldn't recommend this app to anybody.
