TRAUMA-SENSITIVE MINDFULNESS

Mindfulness is more powerful when combined with an understanding of trauma.

My name is David Treleaven. I’m a writer, educator, and trauma professional who teaches people to offer mindfulness in a trauma-sensitive way.

Unbeknownst to many, mindfulness meditation can exacerbate symptoms of traumatic stress. Instructed to pay close, sustained attention to their inner-world, people struggling with trauma can experience flashbacks, dysregulation, or dissociation.

On this site, you’ll find resources designed to prevent this while leveraging the power of mindfulness towards trauma recovery.
