This chapter (1) aids in the development of a “trauma-informed” competency in mindfulness teachers and therapists working with general population groups which may contain persons with traumatic stress symptoms and histories; and (2) offers additional guidelines for those teacher-therapists who are delivering dedicated trauma-focused mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs). The chapter includes a description of trauma-informed behavioral health intervention guidelines; applies those guidelines with practical suggestions from screening to follow-up; describes a trauma-informed method for beginning mindfulness meditations; offers specific guidelines for the body scan, mindfulness retreats, and additional adaptiions for dedicated trauma-focused MBI groups. Chapter 37, “Trauma-Informed Mindful Dialogue,” applies many of these guidelines to inquiry following a mindfulness exercise. |
