You have all my sympathy because living with this kind of sensitivity is not easy.
Ego-depletion is great when you are too much in your head and you feel stress over minor things. However to suggest mindfulness to somebody dealing with clinical forms of anxiety is cruel and unproductive because it promotes ignoring the cause of the episode: how your ego is interpreting the situation it is in.
If others feel ok in the same situation and I get triggered, isn't it clear where the work has to be done?
Also, psychotherapy is a difficult field because it deals with issues you cannot objectively measure (how one feels). I'm specialised in neuropsychotherapy, btw. Many techniques are promoted, some more effective than another. But there is no clear line between right and wrong.
