As a psychotherapist for over a decade, avid researcher, and lifelong learner, I can assure you that mindfulness is one of the most powerful healing techniques that exists.
The problem is that mindfulness has become so popular that many people don't know how to practice effectively.
If you've been learning about mindfulness, maybe meditating here and there, but struggle to integrate the practices into the rest of your life, this resource is for you.
This eBook applies mindfulness principles and practices directly to healing trauma in order to bridge the gap between practicing and integrating.
Whether you've been practicing for years or are a complete mindfulness beginner, I know you will find value inside these pages!
