PTSD & Mindful Living: Research Review Share
Insights Into Best Practices For Healing
Most of us go through a trauma at some point in our
lives. For about 6 percent of U.S. adults, those
experiences will translate to post-traumatic stress
disorder (PTSD).
Although mindfulness practices
may be beneficial for many
mental health issues, the
relationship between
mindfulness and trauma is
complex—especially for those
with PTSD
Making adjustments to meditation practices can help keep them trauma-informed.
Instead of focusing on the breath, try focusing on external cues, like the sounds around you.
Rather than sitting still for the duration of a
meditation, consider bringing movement into the
mindfulness practice. Grounding techniques can
also shift focus back to the present.
Seek expert guidance, like a therapist trained in
trauma-informed mindfulness who can help you craft
a meditation or mindfulness practice that works for
you.
Recovery isn’t something you can or should do all alone. PTSDTruth.press offers resources on the
intersection of neurobiology, trauma, and mindfulness practices.
