Webinar Introduction: Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness

If you have a trauma history, or struggle with your mental health for any reason, mindfulness is a key skill to learn. Mindfulness meditation has been practised 2,500 years by Buddhists, but was only adopted in Western psychology in the 1970s. Since then, eight-week courses such as mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) have helped millions of people struggling with depression, anxiety and many other psychological problems.

But mainstream mindfulness practices can be tricky, or even highly triggering, for those with a trauma history. That is why these practices have been adapted for trauma-sensitive mindfulness – so they are just as effective but easier to practice if, say, you struggle to focus on your breath or body sensations.

If this sounds helpful for you, book your place on this 90-minute Zoom webinar with Dan Roberts, Advanced Accredited Schema Therapist, Trainer & Supervisor and Founder of Heal Your Trauma. Not Just Mindfulness, But Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness takes place on Saturday 12th November 2022, from 3pm-4.30pm and is the third in a series of regular webinars presented by Dan Roberts as part of the Heal Your Trauma project.
