When contemplative practices trigger spiritual trauma

My therapist suggested mindfulness but when I try to practice it reminds me of the Buddhist monastery where I experienced spiritual abuse and I don't know how to separate the technique from the trauma.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Beneficial practices have become contaminated by negative experiences within their cultural context, creating therapeutic conflict.
