Trauma

The Importance of Collaborative Practice

The Importance of Collaborative Practice

According to Bessel can der Kolk, (231) after 9/11 the psychotherapy community of New York City came together to plan and implement a way to help the many people who had been traumatized by that event. What they found was that the majority of people never came to psychotherapy to deal with the feelings that arose from that experience. When asked what people decided to choose, they found that overwhelmingly, people chose body-based therapies, citing massage therapy, acupuncture, yoga and EMDR as their primary means of coping with the burdens of the trauma they had experienced.

Mindfulness has arrived. There is no longer any question that mindfulness is a useful and necessary tool that anyone can benefit from. One challenge, however, is that mindfulness and meditation can be triggering for people who have experienced trauma.
