What is Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness
Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness is an innovative approach that adapts traditional mindfulness techniques to be safe and effective for individuals with trauma. It’s about understanding how mindfulness practices can potentially bring up traumatic memories or sensations and learning how to navigate these with care, compassion, and skill. TSM provides tools and insights for practitioners and teachers alike to ensure that mindfulness is practiced in a way that supports healing and growth, rather than exacerbating suffering.

Interactive Q&A: Have your pressing questions answered. This session is a safe space to explore curiosities, express concerns, and gain clarity from an expert in the field.

What You’ll Gain:

Empowerment: Learn how to harness mindfulness as a tool for healing and empowerment. Understand your own mind better and discover strategies to cope with and move beyond trauma.

Skills: Gain practical skills to approach mindfulness in a way that considers and respects past traumas. Whether you’re a practitioner, a therapist, or simply an individual on a journey of healing, these skills are invaluable.
