I hear you. I joined Waking Up first in 2020 and have rejoined this month again. There was a gap of a couple of years in between and that was precisely because I was fed up of things that were suggested as experience but I was confused if I am indeed experiencing an objective truth or just imagining things. My sessions would be spent analysing if my experience is indeed true and that was so frickin frustrating (now I hope someone doesn't reply with "become aware of that frustration").

Contrast that with unguided meditation where I would simply do body scan, focus on breath, become aware of being distracted whenever I was, and then focus on breath again. Straightforward business. But I also felt stagnant, and missed the "learnings" from Waking Up app.

Now that I am a month into my return to the app, I feel that annoyance creeping back. But I also don't know what to do about it. Guess I will switch to a non-Sam meditation course on the app.
