If mediation is triggering, I would suggest avoiding it until you are at a place where you can handle the triggers. There's a bunch of reservation and studies out about the possible problems with mediation for trauma and abuse survivors. For some, meditation can be a wonderful way to deal with trauma. Unfortunately, for others it can actually be retraumatizing...
Thanks for this!
