Why Most People With PTSD Can’t Meditate. Can You Relate?

Written By Luana Rose

Can you relate? Over the past decade I've worked with many people recovering from complex PTSD. The one common thread I hear is a sense of unworthiness and shame when it comes to meditation. Meditation is hard for folks healing from CPTSD. If we have not properly digested genuinely awful experiences that live in the body and feel that the world is unsafe it's nearly impossible to sit in stillness without dissociating or creating further management strategies for survival. In this video I share own experience from healing from CPTSD symptoms and why meditation doesn't work for everyone [of course! what to do instead]

With compassion and understanding,
Luana
