Mindfulness Training

Mindfulness based interventions  are gentle, collaborative practices that help individuals safely observe their internal experience of the present moment with openness, curiosity, nonjudgment, and compassion.  

​

Our approach is trauma informed; recognizing how trauma damages the nervous system and interrupts the ability to regulate strong emotions. Practices are carefully adapted to each individual, with autonomy, consent, and flexibility at the center.

 

• Mindfulness interventions may include: Grounding techniques,

• Orienting to the present moment

• Somatic techniques,

• Cultivating open curiosity or open awareness, 

• Learning and practicing self-compassion,

• Noticing and naming emotions

• Honoring and exploring protective responses

• Art, music or dance

• Poetry, fiction or myth / symbolism

​​

Practicing mindfulness regularly can result in:

• Reduced stress

• A greater sense of agency

• Self-trust

• Better emotion regulation

• Increased emotional capacity

• Less frequent overwhelm

• More distress tolerance

 

Rather than aiming to “fix” or bypass pain, the practice invites compassionate observation; allowing healing to unfold through safety, attunement, and respect for the body’s wisdom.
