This webinar offers a gentle, trauma-aware approach to mindfulness, designed to remove the pressure to “be still,” “focus,” or “clear the mind.” Traditional mindfulness practices can sometimes feel overwhelming or triggering for trauma survivors, so this session explores how clinicians can adapt these techniques to support safety, agency, and regulation. Participants will learn practical, experiential strategies including movement-based mindfulness, external anchoring, titrated awareness, and choice-driven attention.

These approaches help individuals reconnect with the present moment without feeling forced or unsafe, allowing for a more flexible and compassionate engagement with mindfulness. Clinicians and helpers will gain hands-on tools for guiding clients in ways that honor the nervous system, foster a sense of safety, and cultivate mindful presence.

By the end of the session, participants will feel confident in offering mindfulness practices that are spacious, respectful, and deeply supportive of each individual’s unique needs.

Shirley Hicks

Shirley empowers clinicians to meet clients with safety, sensitivity, and the deep nervous-system attunement that trauma recovery requires. Her work centres on creating healing experiences—somatically, cognitively, and relationally—so survivors can move toward stability without being retraumatised in the process.

With over three decades of somatic psychotherapy experience, Shirley’s practice is anchored in one essential question: “What functional new experience can we co-create in this moment?” She brings profound depth and compassion to her work with survivors of religious and institutional abuse and Victims of Crime, and she loves training clinicians to embody presence as a living part of effective practice.

And when the workday ends, Shirley returns to her creative loves—gardening, singing, cooking, and eating beautiful food (though not all at once!).
