What damage if I may ask?

#7> A final note of caution – it is important to acknowledge that any brain changes we had seen could also be random. The brain is constantly changing anyway.
Well, at least they're honest about that :)

#8I took a 'mindfulness' course a couple of years back, and the biggest benefit for me was learning to be grateful. It sounds riduclous typing it out but there it is.
Practicing gratitude daily, e.g. giving myself reasons to be thankful for my lot in life is 1) really easy to do, and 2) takes about 5 minutes.
The rest of it felt like new-age hippy trash, if I'm completely honest.

Ugh this is so dismissive. I'm glad learning gratitude helped you. How would you feel if, instead, I said "your gratitude practice is actually new age hippy trash"?
Different people derive benefit from different things. Why not just leave it at, "the other stuff didn't work for me"?

I don't think they were claiming it would undo brain trauma.
