How it works
Reduces default mode network rumination and builds prefrontal regulation of amygdala reactivity. Increases window of tolerance for difficult sensations and thoughts.
Standard MBSR is not trauma-sensitive and should be modified or replaced with trauma-informed mindfulness for PTSD. Some people find that mindfulness initially increases dissociation or flashbacks.
Finding a practitioner
Seek a qualified and registered practitioner. In Australia, check AHPRA (ahpra.gov.au) for registered health practitioners including physiotherapists, psychologists, and Chinese medicine practitioners.
