A controlled trial was conducted to investigate the effect of a brief mindfulnessbased
intervention on the frequency, and difficulty in “letting go” of anxious self statements.
Each day for a week participants in the treatment group (n = 28)
listened to the Leaves on a Stream mindfulness exercise (LeJeune, 2012), while those
in the control group (n = 29) listened to a passage of prose of equal duration. The
mean scores of both groups improved from pre- to post-intervention. However,
after intervention, the treatment group did not display lower frequency or difficulty
in letting go of anxious self-statements than the control group. Explanations for,
and practical implications of, these results are discussed.
