An Introduction to Yoga Based Mindfulness Programs for Women Trauma Survivors (SUE JONES)
Recent studies show that early childhood trauma and adverse childhood environments are at the root of avoidance dysfunction and the adoption of health-risk behaviors such as addiction, eating disorders, obesity, self-cutting, dissociation, and propensity toward suicide. Sue Jones, founder of yogaHOPE, leads us in an exploration of integrated mindfulness treatments for women trauma survivors that are gender responsive and trauma informed. We gain a basic understanding of the neurology behind early traumas and health risk behaviors, and discover what elements define a gender responsive program. We also learn what it means to be trauma informed, and how integrated mindfulness practices work to help trauma survivors develop healthy coping mechanisms when experiencing a stressor.
