Inner Resources Center

Mindfulness and meditation improve our natural capacity for resilience and self-regulation. The mindfulness practices in Inner Resources for Stress (IR) are designed to enhance present moment attention and the ability to experience and let go of stress as it arises. IR includes a variety of mindfulness and meditation techniques that are used flexibly to match different people and situations. The Inner Resources Approach: Inner Resources for Stress is a mindfulness, meditation, and mantra intervention designed to address stress and trauma. It integrates time-tested mindfulness practices with the science of stress and trauma recovery to enhance our natural capacities for growing, thriving, and stress resilience. The IR Therapist is forthcoming from The Guilford Press: Mindfulness and Meditation in Trauma Treatment: The Inner Resources for Stress Program By Lynn C. Waelde, Ph.D. This complete therapist guide presents an evidence-based program developed over two decades to support resilience and recovery in people who have experienced trauma. The book is offered in a convenient large-size format which includes assessment guidelines, session agendas, scripts for meditation practices, and a reproducible session-by-session Participant Guide for clients. Purchasers get access to a companion website where they can download printable copies of the reproducible materials, as well as audio tracks of the guided practices.
