Introduction to Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness Meditation
During this one day session, we will look what trauma is, and how we can adapt our teaching to be more aware ,so we can recognise and respond effectively.
When teaching meditation we are often aware of our duty of care, and with the right knowledge and skills we can offer an experience which focuses on keeping people safe, this preventing retraumatisation.
We will start by understanding what trauma means, as well as the prevalence within society before looking at what it means to be Trauma Sensitive.
We will take a deeper dive into the nervous system and understand what can take us outside of our own tolerance, so you can understand dysregulation.
Please note, the intention of this course is not to qualify you to work as a trauma specialist, but for you to feel more equipped and confident when working with students who may experience challenges in meditation.
