We're covering an important topic this week to make sure mindfulness and meditation is inclusive and accessible to everyone. We'll answer questions like what is trauma sensitive mindfulness, or what is trauma-informed mindfulness. In summary, it's recognizing that a traumatic event may be triggered through mindfulness and meditation when someone is recalling memories or certain feelings. One of the steps covered in this episode is how forcing gratitude or a positive mindset on someone can actually be more hurtful than helpful. Life isn't always sunshine and rainbows!
