Great People Think Alike!

This weekend, four (count them, four!) individuals sent me a link to this article. It is heart-warming and exciting to know that so many people are reading literature on trauma-informed work (on the weekend, no less!) and connect the dots to know that this was an important article! Thanks to all! https://www.kqed.org/mindshift...t-always-go-together

I think this article had some great points but the title was misleading. It is not that mindfulness and trauma-informed don't go together - it is that misused or misunderstood mindfulness implementation can be upsetting for some. The article says "Forcing students to engage with the practice in prescribed ways may do more harm than good, especially if the student has experienced trauma." Yes, that is clearly so. But mindfulness is not about forcing anyone to do anything much less in a particular or prescribed way. I wish I could tell the headline writer to please not equate the misapplication of a practice with the practice itself!!
