The dissociation, anxiety and intrusive thinking associated with PTSD and other trauma-related difficulties can be a huge source of distress for sufferers and their families. Mindfulness has been found to be an excellent intervention for these symptoms. However, traditional manualised group mindfulness programmes can sometimes inadvertently re-trigger the very trauma symptoms they seek to alleviate.
Trauma-Informed Mindfulness (TIM) was developed by British Psychologist Dr Nikki Kiyimba to introduce mindfulness practices safely on a one-to-one or small group basis to individuals who have experienced psychological trauma. TIM is an innovative modular system of components that draws upon established models of trauma-informed care, and a wealth of clinical experience in working with people who have experienced trauma.
Dr Nikki Kiyimba was a Senior Lecturer and Programme Leader for the Msc in Therapeutic Practice for Psychological Trauma at the University of Chester. She is also a clinical psychologist and is now based in the Bay of Plenty in Aotearoa New Zealand. Her calling is to support people through psychological adversity by taking a holistic approach, and through meaningful connections with likeminded others. This means integrating physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual aspects of humanity, and through connection with the natural environment.
