Abstract
This chapter will help Veterans to understand avoidance and mindfulness so that group cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) treatment will more effective. It explains how trauma-related memories can lead to avoidance. Group CBT begins with discussing avoidance and other forms of unhealthy coping. The one-step-at-a-time approach to exposure used throughout this program gives clients the chance to test their predictions about danger and safety using their specific trauma cues. The chapter then explains how mindfulness can help people learn to live in the present. It also notes the importance of learning how to focus attention on one thing to encourage mindfulness.
