People suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and
other consequences of trauma face daunting challenges. Although
many clinical treatments target symptoms of PTSD, an optimal
treatment strategy would also address the many health problems that
co-occur, such as chronic pain, substance misuse, and depression.
To address this need, this book offers mindfulness-based
interventions (MBIs). These therapeutic treatments aim to change
the patient's relationship to thoughts, emotions, bodily
sensations, and associated behaviors through an attitude of
non-judgment, curiosity, openness, acceptance, and kindness. MBIs
can help clients at any stage of recovery and be used in tandem
with standard PTSD therapies. David Kearney and Tracy L. Simpson
show practitioners how to guide the patient through meditation
practices such as breathing meditation, body scan meditation, or
mindful movement to address symptoms including rumination, guilt
and shame, avoidance, and hypervigilance, as well as comorbid
conditions such as depression, chronic pain, and substance misuse.
The authors discuss the research supporting this approach, and
offer practical suggestions to help therapists implement MBIs with
their clients.
