Mindfulness has a great reputation and for a good reason around research. Don't assume that it's going to work for everyone all the time. I would say that people who are implementing mindfulness programs in a business is at a base level. Do you have any suggestions for companies that may not realize that it's like ripping the Band-Aid off? What's under there that's creating more of the issue? Sometimes the underlying cause of employees going off the rails can be their trauma that is their inner work to do. How can we as people who are offering mindfulness instruction do that well? What are the best practices that we can apply in order to make sure that no one is falling through the cracks?Ī lot of times, we don't talk about this in the workplace and those of us who are running businesses and dealing with employee engagement. There will be a small number of people who will run into trouble. My main work is around, 'Where does mindfulness meditation help people who are struggling with trauma or struggling with an overwhelmingly negative experience? Where could it possibly hinder them?' In my research, it was finding that some people benefit from doing mindfulness meditation. Do you want to talk a little bit about yourself first and then we'll get into it? He has done a book on Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness and how when we get back to our trauma, through meditation and mindfulness, how when we help ourselves, we help others. I'm here with David Treleaven at the Wisdom 2.0 Conference. Definitely, stay tuned for our B3 breaks that are also offered through this show so you can start putting these mindfulness practices in place.

During this interview, you'll gain an understanding of how you can be more sensitive and aware of what people do versus what they say and how you can support them in the workplace. In 2019, I was able to interview David at Wisdom 2.0 Live to talk about his perspective on trauma when practicing mindfulness. He is the author of Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness: Practices for Safe and Transformative Healing. Welcome to this episode of Breaking Beliefs, where I interviewed David Treleaven, PhD, an educator, writer and somatic therapist working in the San Francisco Bay Area.
