A comprehensive, transdiagnostic, and process-based approach to effectively integrate mindfulness into psychotherapy for treating trauma.
As you know, mindfulness is a powerful tool for treating a variety of mental health issues, from anxiety and depression to eating and substance use disorders. 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--so you can help your clients gain new personal insights and make lasting positive change. 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
- 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.
With this flexible, transdiagnostic approach, you'll be well equipped to integrate mindfulness into your practice to help your clients heal and make lasting change.
