This mindfulness exercise is designedto help you overcome the harmful effects of trauma,And to give you a stronger sense of self-agency,And control over how you relate to your trauma.As you listen to this exerciseAnd all mindfulness exercises,please remember,you’re in control of your experienceand can do as much of itor as little of it as you wish.No matter what kind of trauma you may have gone through,large or small,physical, sexual, mental, emotional or spiritual,your trauma involvesan incapacityto stop a terrible thing from happening to you.Regardless of blame or misfortune,It involves an incapacity to stop something terrible.Sometimes this truth can wear on the psyche,So recovering from traumaMay require that you, at some point, increase greater strengthsand more capacities within
To remember how powerful you areand how important your decisions are.In this general way,it may also be useful to do this kind of workwith a therapist.But on your own,With guidance from WellBrain and your doctor,It’s good to knowThat along with your traumaThere may be natural, common feelings or beliefsof entrapment, immobilization, and helplessness.To some degree, you may not feel like you can escape the awfulness of it.One thing that has helped thousands of othersWho live with incredible trauma,Is to be mindful of your own experiences ofOf what we call “agency”,of simply being able to make something happen,With your own free will and sense of empowerment,Building upon our agency one building block at a time
