Trauma Mindfulness

From elementary schools to psychotherapy offices, mindfulness meditation is an increasingly mainstream practice. At the same time, trauma remains a fact of life.

This raises a crucial question: How can we minimize the potential dangers of mindfulness for survivors while leveraging its powerful benefits?
