Description

For readers seeking a mindfulness practice that prioritises safety and healing, David A. Treleaven offers a unique approach. Drawing on a decade of research and clinical experience, Treleaven shows that mindfulness meditation, when practiced without awareness of trauma, can exacerbate symptoms of traumatic stress. This book provides answers to the crucial question of how to minimize the potential dangers of mindfulness for survivors while leveraging its powerful benefits. Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness explores the histories of mindfulness and trauma, and how modern neuroscience is shaping our understanding of both. Through grounded scholarship and wide-ranging case examples, Treleaven illustrates the ways mindfulness can help or hinder trauma recovery. This book is a valuable resource for those working with survivors of trauma, as well as those who have experienced trauma themselves. It offers a nuanced understanding of the complex relationship between mindfulness and trauma, and provides practical guidance for those seeking to use mindfulness as a tool for healing.
