That space there!

Greetings everyone and Happy Monday!

Welcome to Radio Headspace, my name is K-Songer.

I'm spending another week with you and what I decided to do is to actually make this

week all about you.

I always ask you to send me questions and thoughts that you have about mindfulness, meditation,

and life in general.

This week I'll be answering a number of them, so let's jump right in.

The first question goes like this.

I've recently experienced a very traumatic incident and I just can't shake it.

Every time I sit to meditate I have to stop because the images of the incident keep

replaying in my mind.

I used to meditate every day, but now I find myself skipping days on purpose.

Please help!

First and foremost, thank you so much for this question.

I wanted to mention that seeking out therapy from a professional can be hugely beneficial

for you in this situation.

It sounds like it can help you out quite a bit with processing the trauma that you experienced.

And secondly, trauma is something that everyone experiences on some level, so you're not

alone.

It sounds like your trauma was pretty intense and I'm understanding that it's now affecting

your meditation practice.
