Good question! I have wondered the same. For me, trauma therapy was talking about it, doing sand tray (that was most helpful), and all the CBT/mindfulness stuff. I am all for mindfulness and meditation as a spiritual practice; I don't really understand what it has to do with trauma.
After all is said and done, I don't feel any different about childhood trauma than I did when I started therapy. It's kinda pathetic, frankly. I mean, I can identify and be accepting of my triggers now. So that's definitely a good thing. Maybe that's a success; I don't know.
