Chronic Illness Trauma Treatment With Mindfulness: Veronique Mead“There are things like a mindfulness practice where you actually look at and work with and practice being with yourself as you are without judging and that's part of how I discovered my first triggers- by really paying attention and not thinking about my body is broken, but thinking about it as responding intelligently to what's going on in the world.”– Veronique MeadAbout Veronique: Veronique Mead was an Assistant Professor of Family Medicine and a practicing physician when she changed careers to retrain as a Somatic Trauma Therapist. For the past 20 years she has been integrating the science and her personal journey of gradual recovery from disabling chronic fatigue syndrome into a new model for making sense of chronic illnesses of all kinds.Her research explains how effects of trauma are not psychological as is still often mistakenly believed. Veronique shares the model and science she never learned in her medical training on her blog, Chronic Illness Trauma Studies.
