Alex recalls a moment of revelation with a past abusive relationship that was unearthed in therapy. He describes the non-judgmental and gentle way his therapist spoke to him, always bringing his awareness to his body. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy was a way in which he could reprocess his trauma in a safe and transformative way.
