While TMI is a great meditation program, it is not for everyone, and there are some people who shouldn’t even start.

If you have, or think you have, any sort of mental illness, don’t do TMI or any sort of meditation unless under the direction of a professional. The techniques will stir things up.

This is especially true of trauma. If you have trauma, TMI can make the condition worse by forcing you to deal with things before you are ready. At best, a person with trauma who attempts TMI will typically stall in one the early stages, because the trauma prevents them from achieving the needed calmness of mind. If you have trauma, please deal with that first.
