Does mindfulness mean I need to be religious or Buddhist? What is mindfulness trauma recovery anyway?
Absolutely not. Mindfulness is based on Buddhist teaching, but simply it means teaching your self to bring more awareness in your daily life and healing your trauma in a conscious, self-compassion and self-kind way.
For example, mindfulness is slowly getting in touch with what is happening in the body, with what physical sensation are felt, how do they relate to certain action or triggers – all is an exercise of exploration and curiosity. And we will repeat this exercise many times so you can resculpt and train your brain not go to the autopilot of fear, panic, and pain when triggers and flashbacks occur. This way you will learn to also heal your body from many symptoms you might have: insomnia, back pain, migraines, asthma, IBS, hormonal disbalance to name a few.
Everything we do gets framed as an exercise in curiosity and exploration and that is bringing more awareness. This way you will learn to heal your trauma and trauma symptoms for good. No quick fixes, no medications. You were holding trauma for years in your body and you will release it in a slow, steady and nurturing mindfull way out.
