Mindfulness and Meditation in Trauma Treatment: The Inner Resources for Stress Program

This complete therapist guide presents an evidence-based program developed over two decades to support resilience and recovery in people who have experienced trauma. Inner Resources for Stress (IR) weaves mindfulness, mantra repetition, and other meditative practices into nine structured yet flexible group sessions. IR is a developmentally informed, culturally responsive approach grounded in cognitive-behavioral conceptualizations of trauma. In a convenient large-size format, the book includes assessment guidelines, session agendas, scripts for meditation practices, and a reproducible session-by-session Participant Guide for clients. Purchasers get access to a companion website where they can download printable copies of the reproducible materials, as well as audio tracks of the guided practices.
