Why does mindfulness sometimes make things worse for trauma and complex PTSD? Your nervous system reacts differently—find out why here. Many people with trauma, complex PTSD, attachment trauma, or dissociation experience that typical mindfulness exercises like body scans, breath awareness, or meditation don't calm them, but can instead trigger anxiety, panic, shame, inner emptiness, or feeling overwhelmed. - Prof. Ashok Riehm www.prof-ashok-riehm.de In this video, I explain why trauma-sensitive mindfulness needs to be structured differently than standard mindfulness. It's not about spiritual self-optimization, but about safe self-awareness, present-moment awareness, and stabilizing and regulating the nervous system. Many people with trauma, complex PTSD, attachment trauma, or dissociation find that typical mindfulness exercises don't calm them, but rather trigger anxiety, panic, shame, inner emptiness, or overwhelm. In this video, you will learn: – why traditional mindfulness sometimes doesn't help with trauma – why the body is often not a safe place for trauma survivors – why meditation can also be a trigger for complex PTSD – what distinguishes trauma-sensitive mindfulness from traditional mindfulness – what role dissociation, hyperarousal, and hypoarousal play – what the window of tolerance means – why orientation in the here and now can be more important than deep introspection – how self-regulation can be carefully developed in the context of trauma – how to recognize when an exercise is overwhelming your nervous system This video is relevant for people with: trauma complex PTSD attachment trauma childhood trauma dissociation depersonalization anxiety emotional hyperarousal inner emptiness chronic tension trauma-related self-alienation This topic can also be important for therapists, coaches, and other professionals because mindfulness in trauma therapy cannot simply be applied according to standard principles. This should be conveyed. If you've ever wondered why mindfulness doesn't work for you, even though it's supposed to help everyone, then this video is for you.
