Trauma-Sensitive Meditation

In this program, we'll learn strategies for practicing vipassana so that the meditation itself doesn't reactivate trauma or activate dissociation, flashbacks, or dysregulation. We will particularly focus on trauma-sensitive practices pertaining to the first three establishments of mindfulness–mindfulness of the body, feelings, and mind–from the Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta (Discourse on the Four Establishments of Mindfulness). This session will be helpful both for trauma survivors and for anyone experiencing overwhelm, disorientation, or a loss of agency. We will explore strategies that individuals with trauma can draw on to practice in a way that supports stability, healing, and insight.
