Trauma-Informed Mindfulness Training

Mindfulness has become a popular tool in many clinicians' toolkits, and the research behind it is overwhelmingly positive. Trauma survivors often seek out mindfulness or other forms of meditation or spirituality, such as yoga, to support them in their healing journey, or have been "prescribed" these by a professional. However, without the proper awareness or safeguards in place, these practices can be activating and re-‐traumatizing for some people, especially those with early developmental trauma, leading to many adverse effects, such as anxiety, panic, psychotic breaks, terror, dissolution of ego boundaries, flashbacks, repressed material resurfacing, and uncomfortable physical sensations associated with unresolved trauma responses. Others turn to contemplative practices as a form of spiritual bypassing, a way to dissociate and avoid or disconnect from distressing symptoms. As is true with other approaches, no one modality is a panacea and recognizing when a tool is the right fit or not is important. This East meets West workshop will review the shadow side of spirituality, and introduce practical principles to adapt mindfulness in a trauma-‐informed way. The workshop will focus on:

• Integrating a trauma lens of polyvagal theory, attachment theory and psychophysiology into mindfulness

• Adverse effects and benefits of contemplative practices • Body memory, the biological cycle of stress activation, defensive

responses and completion, and how thwarted self-‐protective efforts can manifest during meditation

• Frameworks and principles to support a more nuanced approach to mindfulness, in alignment with staged models of trauma treatment

• Caveats around breath work practices for trauma • Ways to adapt mindfulness to support client safety, choice, voice

and empowerment www.traumatrainings.com

Integrating

principles drawn from neuroscience, attachment theory,

somatics and trauma-‐informed care to increase

safety, embodiment, choice, voice and empowerment for trauma survivors
