MBTSR: Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness For Refugees

In this talk, recorded for the European Association of Mindfulness-Based Approaches (EAMBA), I share my personal journey of becoming a refugee after the war in Ukraine, and my work with displaced individuals facing traumatic stress. This experience led me to naturally adapt the standard MBSR program into a trauma-sensitive format — Mindfulness-Based Trauma Sensitive and Recovery (MBTSR).

In this session, I explore the challenges, insights, and feedback from participants as we navigate mindfulness in the context of trauma, stress, and healing.
