Integrating Mindfulness into Psychotherapy for Trauma: A Clinician's Guide to Using Mindfulness Processes to Facilitate Healing and Reduce Suffering

As you know, mindfulness is a powerful tool for treating a variety of mental health issues. However, if you're a clinician treating clients who have suffered from trauma, you are also aware that mindfulness can sometimes cause significant stress or discomfort. So, how can you incorporate mindfulness into your treatment—safely and effectively—for improved outcomes?

Integrating Mindfulness into Psychotherapy for Trauma offers a transdiagnostic, process-based approach to treating trauma with mindfulness, with interventions that are practical, simple, and easy to teach. You'll learn how to form individualized, trauma-informed case conceptualization and treatment plans, and integrate mindfulness into psychotherapy with a focus on four interconnected mindfulness mechanisms: attentional focus, body awareness, emotion regulation, and changes in perspective on the self.

You'll also find a framework for targeting specific trauma symptoms, with an emphasis on when and how to effectively integrate mindfulness into sessions, and a variety of mindfulness practices to help your clients make and sustain treatment gains. Strategies for how to intervene when difficulties such as panic attacks or painful memories arise during a mindfulness practice are also provided, along with discussions of therapist mindfulness and trauma stewardship.
