A traumatic experience may be considered as a state of panic and helplessness when we face an overwhelming event. It generates avoidance strategies to escape of the pain, and a profound state of disconnection. Mindfulness promotes the connection inside and outside in the present moment. It cultivates new ways of relationship to the experience with acceptance of the inner experience without neither identification nor attachment to the experience. We describe the premises that support using mindfulness-oriented approaches in trauma treatment and the adaptations of the practices in trauma survivors population. Mindfulness offers a promising and inspirational approach that can be applied to the complex psychological and existential suffering associated with trauma, including the self-caring of the therapists.Downloads
