Integrating mindfulness into trauma therapy can offer powerful benefits, yet it can sometimes trigger discomfort. This comprehensive guide provides a transdiagnostic, process-based approach to using mindfulness safely and effectively for trauma treatment. With practical interventions and easy-to-teach mindfulness techniques, you'll learn how to create trauma-informed treatment plans, address specific trauma symptoms, and incorporate four key mindfulness mechanisms: attentional focus, body awareness, emotion regulation, and shifts in self-perspective. The book also includes strategies for managing challenges like panic attacks, alongside therapist mindfulness and trauma stewardship.
