MEDITATIONS FOR HEALING TRAUMA. Mindfulness Skills to Relieve Post-Traumatic Stress

This book focuses
entirely on meditations
specifically for individuals
recovering from trauma.

Some people heal naturally after they experience a traumatic event, but some trauma lasts and can develop into PTSD, with symptoms like depression, anxiety, panic, flashbacks, difficulty sleeping, or losing interest in life. Offering meditations for reconnection with body, heart, mind, and life, this evidence-based guide presents a unique, evidence-based way to heal and help readers re-engage with the world around them. Instead of
getting stuck reliving trauma or worrying about it happening again, these mindful meditations ground readers in the present moment and enable them to better cope with unpleasant thoughts and feelings as they arise—
and then let them go.
