From elementary schools to psychotherapy offices, mindfulness meditation is an increasingly mainstream practice. At the same time, trauma remains a fact of life: the majority of us will experience a traumatic event in our lifetime and up to 20% of us will develop posttraumatic stress. This means that anywhere mindfulness is being practised, someone in the room is likely to be struggling with trauma.\nAt first glance, this appears to be a good thing: trauma creates stress and mindfulness is a proven tool for reducing it. But the reality is not so simple.\nDrawing on a decade of research and clinical experience, psychotherapist and educator David Treleaven shows that mindfulness meditation\u2014practised without an awareness of trauma\u2014can exacerbate symptoms of traumatic stress.
