Why Meditation Isn't Always a Good Thing When You Suffer from Trauma
Learn how to apply meditation safely—to process Post-Traumatic Stress—without getting further overwhelmed
Meditation for working through Post-Traumatic Stress isn’t about relaxing. It is about slowly guiding you back into the body, while at the same time helping you to hold enough space for yourself in awareness so that you can face what comes up for you.
When you suffer from Complex Trauma or PTSD, being hypervigilant and "on alert" is built into your system as a survival mechanism.
Relaxation through meditation will likely feel as though you are letting your guard down. And, you will internally perceive that as vulnerable and possibly even dangerous.
Meditation can become, then, an act filled with conflict. There is a part of you that sees that being under stress wears down your health on various levels and wants to relieve the pressure; there is another part of you that stays on "high guard" and "high energy charged" because of an uncompleted fight-flight survival activation due to the particular traumatic incidence or period you went through.
When suffering is persistent you tend to project towards its opposite—towards wanting to find a way to overcome it, to get rid of it, to forget about it, to relax, to let go, to understand it cognitively in the hope that the suffering will lessen—to feel better through seeking temporary pleasures and continuous occupations, and so forth.
Unfortunately, none of this works in the long run.
Introducing
The Trauma Care Audio
Guided Meditations
These Trauma Care Audio Guided Meditations are the summary of twenty years of experience in the field of trauma and healing.
They convey the most fundamental insights into the processes of trauma and dissociation and how you can work through them.
These guided meditations address in depth the various aspects of dissociation; anger, sadness, or anxiety, symptoms of collapse, exhaustion and fatigue, hyperactivity, control, boundaries and vulnerability, and the fight-flight-freeze responses.
They focus on carefully entering and exiting emotional territory—while avoiding the extremes of getting too overwhelmed or dissociated—to build up sufficient containment and resilience to be able to process emotional residue.
There are many meditations out there, but hardly any of them are crafted for dealing specifically with trauma. These are, and they deliver.
About The Course Facilitator,
Roland Bal
In the field since 2002, I have helped hundreds of people, through individual sessions, to make significant change in their personal well being. Additionally, I have reached many thousands more through my insightful, accurate, and descriptive writings about the harrowing conditions of Complex Trauma and PTSD, and have pointed the way towards what can be done about it in order to heal.
My unique approach focuses on containing, regulating and processing, dissociation, the fight-flight-freeze-please responses, and re-learning boundaries and vulnerability.
I'll be honored to work with you and help you make real progress towards recovery!

How Do These Meditations Work?
There is a deliberate sequence to these meditations: They start from the head and from there—slowly on—bring you back into the body by:
- 1Addressing disconnection and dissociation, the head and the busyness of thought;
- 2Working with the fight, flight and freeze activation, and illustrating how they relate to tensions in the neck, back of the head, and the adrenals and kidneys;
- 3Slowly moving further into the body by going into the heart and the chest area, allowing the feeling, weight, heaviness, and sadness to be felt and brought into awareness, to help you process emotional residue;
- 4Helping you work through anxiety, self-image, fatigue, depression and boundaries related to the liver, diaphragm, solar plexus, kidneys and the lower-back area; and
- 5Inviting you to safely engage with silence, while managing healthy boundaries and allowing vulnerability.

Have a look at these authentic testimonials from people who love Roland's work!
You do have to start where you are.
I have found the meditations to be useful on a number of levels. They have helped me to better manage my anxiety and my response to intrusive memories; they have taught me a lot about myself, and they have taught me a lot about trauma. I listen to them often, and each time I learn something new. Roland's approach is logical, sensitive, and validating, which makes these an excellent resource for recovery. I recommend them highly and without reservation.

They are simple and efficient.
I’ve always wanted to use meditation to my benefit. But, I was afraid because I didn’t know what I was doing and with severe disassociation, I knew I needed to be careful. The best thing about Roland’s meditations is that they are simple and efficient, and they don’t overwhelm you. I still have a long way to go, but they are teaching me how to sit with my emotions. To be able to acknowledge them and not, as before, push them away gives me back some power. I believe it’s the beginning of my healing process. I haven’t felt hope in a long time, and I can’t hold onto it for long, but just knowing it’s still there for me is amazing.

They have completely changed my perspective.
Thank you, Roland, for the trauma care meditations, I've been actively using them for about 1 month now and they have completely changed my perspective on my healing and allowed for lots of energy to start moving. For the first time in almost a year I could feel the breathing in my ribs after a meditation session. And I'm learning to be with my fatigue instead of fighting it which is proving effective. Your insight and soothing voice helps guide me to a space in which change can occur. Very grateful for your work.

Why You Can't Afford NOT to Get These Trauma Care Audio Guided Meditations
What Katy, Holly, Mark, Alina, Kris, Sofia, Heidi, Lynn, Karan and Wendee have in common is that they all are dealing with the symptoms that make up Complex Trauma or PTSD; and they made significant progress to either sleep better, reduce their anxiety and hypervigilance, or were able to better manage their symptoms.
Hence, if you have similar symptoms like them, you really can't afford not to get this Trauma Care Meditation Course.
Furthermore, individual counseling easily gets costly and can run into the thousands of dollars. These meditations are yours to keep, can be used whenever you feel you need them, and only go for fraction of what you might pay for one-to-one counseling.

Worth every penny spent.
I have been listening to the meditations and they are worth every penny spent. I have been working with a trauma therapist for several years, and I have learned and grown a lot, but these meditations have done more to help me connect with myself and my body in ways that I haven't done in the two years with my psychologist. I am very grateful to have these and will be listening to them regularly. Thank you so very much for creating them and making them available.

The Most Important Journey..
I won’t lie about it; working through Complex Trauma or PTSD is a tough journey to make. It takes patience, persistence, and dedication, as there will be moments of breakdown before breakthroughs. Often, it will feel like you are navigating a minefield, where you have to be careful to not open up too much all at once, and feel overwhelmed again, while at the same time steadily keep pushing forward into potentially dangerous emotional territory.
However, through careful entry and exit into that emotional territory—while avoiding the extremes of getting too overwhelmed or dissociated—you will be able to build up resilience and containment.
It is in that state of sufficient resilience and containment that you are starting to process your past and, from there, can create the possibility of a new future.
I am convinced that we can do this, and it would be an honor to facilitate you on your healing journey.
To your recovery!
