Finding Peace: Mindfulness Techniques for Healing Trauma

Being with the body as it sits here, breathing, remembering that if you notice any feelings of intensity or discomfort, there's always the option to mindfully bring your awareness to any movements you need to adjust as a part of the practice.
Ever feel like your mind is a runaway train, always pulling you away from the present moment? In this episode of 'Recovery from Coercive Control', Dr. Saira Khan introduces mindfulness practices designed to help you find your way back to now. Dr. Khan, a psychologist and human rights advocate, blends her professional expertise with personal experience to offer practical, trauma-sensitive techniques that anyone can try at home.
She gently guides listeners through the process of sitting meditation, emphasizing the importance of self-compassion and patience. Expect your mind to wander – it’s natural. The real work lies in noticing when it drifts and gently bringing it back. This practice isn't just about relaxation; it's about rewiring your brain and honing your attention skills. Dr. Khan shares tips for integrating these practices into daily life, acknowledging that breaking old habits can be tough but ultimately rewarding.
Whether you're new to mindfulness or looking to deepen your practice, this episode provides valuable insights into how being present can aid in healing from the scars of coercive control. If you’ve ever struggled with feeling disconnected or overwhelmed by past experiences, Dr. Khan’s soothing voice and practical advice offer a comforting guide. Tune in to discover how mindfulness can become a powerful tool in your journey towards recovery and emotional resilience.
