Pedestrian almost got struck and likely killed right next to me

At 1 AM, I'm Northbound on a one way street, just starting out from an intersection. Partway down the block there's a guy, likely drunk, decides to jaywalk right in front of me so I slow to a crawl to let him pass in front of me, right to left. He's wearing all black so he's damn near invisible.

Just as he's about to pass my bumper another car blasts past me on the left, missing him by millimeters. I'm still a bit shaken up.

How do I find a non-fad-based therapist?

Years ago, everybody had Tourettes even though they didn't tick.

Lately mindfulness is the hammer they hit every nail with.

Me: I'm having issues with obsessions.

Them: You need to learn how to breathe.

Me: I'm a trained singer and have done yoga since the 80's. I know how to breathe. Obsessions?

Them: You need to practice mindfulness. Mantras may help.

Me: I study Jung and have done Trancendental Meditation since the 70's. Try again.

Them: You're not cooperating.
