From the Back Cover

"Sears and Chard have written the kind of book that offers guidance to complement the skills of new and experienced therapists alike. Readers are likely to use it as a valuable resource for helping trauma survivors--the kind of book one goes back to repeatedly."
-Paula Schnurr, Ph.D., Executive Director of the National Center for PTSD

"Drs. Sears and Chard offer us a much-needed resource on how to effectively and responsibly integrate a time-tested clinical mindfulness approach with traumatized clients. So many of the resources on mindfulness that are currently available--traditional, secular, and clinical--fail to take principles of trauma-informed care into account. These authors have risen to the task of filling a major gap in how we share mindful practices. A lovely, user-friendly resource for clinicians!"
