Understanding the different types of trauma is crucial in tailoring effective treatment approaches and providing the necessary support to individuals who have experienced these traumatic events. By acknowledging and addressing the trauma’s specific nature, healing and recovery can be facilitated more effectively.

Recognizing the Symptoms

People with PTSD often experience various symptoms that can significantly impact their daily lives. These symptoms can be categorized into four main clusters:

Intrusive Thoughts and Memories:

Individuals may re-experience the traumatic event through distressing flashbacks or nightmares. Intrusive thoughts related to the trauma may also disrupt their thinking patterns.

Avoidance and Numbing:

In an attempt to manage the overwhelming emotions linked to the trauma they have experienced, individuals often engage in avoidance behaviors. This can involve deliberately steering clear of certain places, people, or activities that serve as reminders of the traumatic event.

Hyperarousal and Reactivity:

Those with PTSD often exhibit increased irritability, difficulty concentrating, and exaggerated startle responses. They may also experience sleep disturbances and hypervigilance, constantly being on high alert for potential threats.

Cognitive and Mood Distortions:

Negative thoughts and distorted beliefs about oneself, others, and the world are common in individuals with PTSD. They may struggle with feelings of shame, guilt, or a diminished sense of self-worth.

Dear Renewal Lodge Visitors,

My name is John Bruna, co-founder of the Mindfulness in Recovery® Institute, and more importantly, a grateful member of the recovery community. I am incredibly fortunate to have found my recovery in 1984. Of course, I did not achieve continuous recovery through willpower or my own efforts, but through the guidance and caring support of countless others that selflessly taught me how to live through the 12 Steps.

My journey of recovery brought this once homeless, shame-based, traumatized, insecure young man to a life far beyond anything I could have ever imagined. I discovered self-worth, the joy of helping others, the gifts of parenting and grandparenting, and most importantly the ability to live a meaningful and purposeful life with integrity.

One of the greatest gifts of recovery is that I have the opportunity to give back and help others discover their self-worth, dignity, and the skills to fully live lives that they find truly meaningful. This is the inspiration for developing the skills of Mindfulness in Recovery® (MIR) to meet the needs of new generations struggling with alcohol and other substance use disorders. MIR is a set of evidence-based skills designed to help people fully integrate their tools of recovery in ways that are personalized, practical, and in alignment with their deepest values.

While we train counselors and therapists throughout the United States and abroad, I personally have chosen to work directly with the amazing team and clients at Renewal Lodge to develop the model MIR 12-step program for the nation. I choose Renewal Lodge because of the vision of its mission and the dedication of its team. Renewal Lodge is an extremely rare environment in which the staff embodies the very mindfulness and 12-step practices and skills they offer their clients. The results have been beyond my expectations. It is an honor to be here and I treasure my personal time with every client I meet.

With Gratitude,

John Bruna
