Summary

• Are you confident in your clinical work with clients suffering from trauma or PTSD?

• Or do you have a pit in your stomach after a session with a traumatized client because you fear that you may have done more harm than good?

• Despite our best intentions, clients are often triggered or even retraumatized by talking about their experiences before they have the skills to regulate their emotions, calm their bodies and focus on the present.

• This common treatment pitfall can lead to client’s withdrawing from the experience, avoiding their thoughts and feelings, or ending therapy all together.

• By incorporating mindfulness skills, clinicians can help clients to tolerate distressful memories, triggers and emotions in-order-to successfully begin to navigate their trauma narrative and move into post-traumatic growth.
