About
While mindfulness meditation helps promote healing and supports personal recovery, the practice of being still and noticing our thoughts, physical sensations, and emotions may give rise to memories of traumatic events. Because our brain responds to traumatic events by storing them incorrectly, and often without a “time and place stamp,” recalling the event can feel as if it’s happening all over again in real time. This can be re-traumatizing.
For that reason, it’s extremely important that we pay close attention when a mindfulness practice prompts intrusive thoughts or traumatic memories—and guide practice in ways that do not cause emotional or physical dysregulation or harm.
Designed specially for those who teach mindfulness practices, this course will teach you the mechanisms of trauma and ways to hold space, provide support, and give meditation instructions in a way that considers the reality of trauma in our communities and helps reduce potential harm.*
“The course covered a lot of material and having been my first experience with this practice, I feel it was very comprehensive and complete.”

“I think this can help overall with the way I interact with everyone in my life. It has definitely helped me with my own responses to other people and reflecting on my feelings and being more forgiving of myself.”
