The formative, step-by-step guide to trauma-sensitive mindfulness practice.
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.
David Treleaven does it once again in The Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness Workbook and provides healing practitioners with a practical guide for offering mindfulness in a safe, effective, compassionate, evidenced-based, and trauma-informed way. Written with deep integrity and care and providing detailed scripts, empowering language, intake forms, and supportive guidance--I do not know a more detailed or comprehensive workbook that exists on this framework. I am in awe. Accessible to mental health professionals and mindfulness teachers alike, this resource will provide confidence and tangible support to so many looking to add trauma-sensitive mindfulness to their healing toolkit.--Zahabiyah Yamasaki, MEd, RYT, trauma-informed yoga educator, consultant, and author of Trauma-Informed Yoga for Survivors of Sexual Assault
