Mindfulness can be a powerful tool for trauma recovery, but it is often described as a double-edged sword. For many, it helps rebuild a sense of safety and presence, for others, it can inadvertently poke at a trauma, causing distress if not approached carefully.

It is therefore important to understand safeguarding approaches and develop strategies that we can use when we feel overwhelmed. 

Through short videos lessons, audio and reflective practice, you'll explore the concepts of trauma informed mindfulness and healing practices.
