Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness | Mindfulness Community

Trauma lives in the mind as chronic dysregulation. The autonomic nervous system tells us not who we are but how we are—defining the bandwidth where presence is possible. Meditation asks us to turn attention toward internal experience. For traumatized nervous systems, this can trigger overwhelm rather than insight.

Beyond trauma sensitivity lies another territory rarely discussed: practice stages that seem like forms of depression. Not every difficulty indicates progress, but some difficulties are the territory itself. Distinguishing genuine depression from practice-induced destabilization requires understanding multiple developmental dimensions. Informed consent requires naming this early.

The evening explores practical frameworks: recognizing window of tolerance, differentiating trauma response from meditative states, understanding when to ground versus when to skillfully open. We'll practice regulation techniques and inquire into our collective intelligence.
