About this title

Synopsis

The formative, step-by-step guide to trauma-sensitive mindfulness practice.

Unbeknownst to many, mindfulness can exacerbate symptoms of traumatic stress. Instructed to pay close, sustained attention to their inner-world, people struggling with trauma can experience flashbacks, dysregulation, or dissociation.

Here, trauma specialist David Treleaven builds on his pioneering work to offer a practical guide for integrating trauma-sensitivity into mindfulness practices. From the nuances of trauma’s impact on the individual to adapting mindfulness in diverse contexts, Treleaven provides step-by-step guidance, practical exercises, and real-world applications to ensure mindfulness is both safe and transformative. Structured to deepen understanding and skill, this comprehensive resource covers foundational principles and specialized adaptations, empowering mindfulness teachers with cutting-edge tools and insights. This is an essential guide for anyone looking to navigate the complexities of trauma with mindfulness and to foster environments of healing, resilience, and inclusivity.
