Testimonials
“David’s Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness modifications have helped me teach mindfulness in a safe and inclusive way inside my classroom. It’s helpful, supportive work for mindfulness teachers that makes our own work have more integrity.”
— LINDA RYDEN
Elementary School Teacher and Mindfulness Curriculum Developer
“David’s groundbreaking work is informing the way I’m able to talk about mindfulness and trauma. I am bringing the principles and specific practices he outlines to my work in an intentional way so that it becomes the new way I do things.”
— GRACE HELMS KOTRE, MSW
Certified Mindfulness Instructor and founder of Power to Be
“The questions David raises — of how mindfulness can become more sensitive to trauma, and more aware of the often overlooked traumas of ongoing and generational oppression— are necessary and timely investigations. We all deserve the kind of allyship and thoughtful practice David’s work calls us towards.”
— PRENTIS HEMPHILL
Former Healing Justice Director, Black Lives Matter Global Network
“I believe David’s work should be read by every therapist who works with mindfulness practices in treating trauma. What he did when he put “trauma-sensitive” in front of “mindfulness” is radical and of critical importance. It’s a paradigm shift.”
— CAROL ANNA McBRIDE, M.A., M.Ed.
Founder/Curator of The Trauma Project
