Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness offers answers to this question. ![]() Instructed to pay close, sustained attention to their inner world, survivors can experience flashbacks, dissociation, and even retraumatization. Drawing on a decade of research and clinical experience, psychotherapist and educator David Treleaven shows that mindfulness meditation-practiced without an awareness of trauma-can exacerbate symptoms of traumatic stress. At first glance, this appears to be a good thing: trauma creates stress, and mindfulness is a proven tool for reducing it. This means that anywhere mindfulness is being practiced, someone in the room is likely to be struggling with trauma. At the same time, trauma remains a fact of life: the majority of us will experience a traumatic event in our lifetime, and up to 20% of us will develop posttraumatic stress. ![]() ![]() All were first published by Egmont Books and the first 8 with cover art by David Wyatt.

The first major difference between the two sonnets is the sonnet form used. ![]() As can be seen in “Sonnet 292” from the Canzoniere, the extensive use of metaphor and the idealization of Petrarch’s female subject are characteristic of the Petrarchan sonnet. Conversely, Petrarch’s work is rich in imagery, and does not spare a syllable in its glorification and deification of the object of his desires, Laura. Shakespeare appears to be making light of the metaphor and exaggerated comparison found in Petrarch’s work by offering an English sonnet describing the very un-goddess-like nature of this dark mistress (Davis et al. Additionally, it is apparent that in “Sonnet 130,” Shakespeare actually satirizes Petrarch’s style and musings as his narrator describes his mistress, whose “eyes are nothing like the sun” (Shakespeare 3: 106). While they each approach the subject of their poems through sonnet forms, there are fundamental differences in their style and form, as well as in the way they undergo the discussion of their subjects. Petrarch and Shakespeare are two poets known for their work on the subject of love. ![]() |
