How many people do you know who have experienced trauma? According to research, at least 90% of us will live through trauma at some point in our lives. For mindfulness and meditation teachers, this means it’s likely that no matter the context in which we teach, someone in the room will have a history of trauma.

In this episode of the Mindfulness Exercises Podcast, Sean Fargo speaks with author, educator and trauma professional David Treleaven on the importance of minimizing harm in our efforts to help others, and what it really means to be a trauma-sensitive mindfulness teacher.

David Treleavan joined Sean Fargo as a guest teacher in the Mindfulness Exercises Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Training Program. This unique, self-paced program is internationally accredited and accessible entirely online. Students in the program receive weekly live, in-person mentorship from Sean Fargo and his team. They are joined by the world’s most respected mindfulness and meditation teachers who present on a wide range of topics.
