Learn, grow and relax with these guided meditations and other recordings for trauma survivors and mourners.
Here, you'll find a collection of recorded guided meditations designed to help you release stress, worry, and emotional overwhelm. If you're like most people, stress is a part of your daily life—making it difficult to feel calm, grounded, or safe in your own body. You might often feel anxious, disconnected, or find it hard to simply observe your emotions without being swept away by them.
For trauma survivors or those who have experienced sudden loss, the world can feel unsafe and isolating. You may feel stuck in survival mode, preoccupied with your health, or uneasy in your own skin. Over time, it can feel like your nervous system has become wired for distress—even though that's never what you intended.
But here’s the good news: if your mind can focus on worry and discomfort, it can also learn to shift toward calm, ease, and presence. These guided meditations are gentle tools to help you regulate your emotions, reconnect with your body, and experience more peace—both mentally and physically.
Don’t miss my trauma video self-help program: “When it Feels Like the Past Is Still Happening”—a trauma healing journal and video series. This powerful resource will guide you through understanding trauma, its impact on your life, and practical ways to cope, heal, and move forward.
When the Past Feels Like It's Still Happening
Traumatic incidents may have happened long ago but still feel trapped in your body, emotions, and mind. This video series and trauma healing journal/workbook help you understand what trauma is, how it's affected you, self-help coping strategies, and what healing options are available. This program does not substitute medical or psychological treatment, but can be used in your therapy with a licensed professional. You'll receive a zip file with all the modules and trauma healing journal that you can play on your computer or tablet. Want to know more before you invest? Click here!
Safe Place Meditation
If you feel hypervigilant or you’re always on guard, you might find that listening to the Safe Place Meditation is a good place to start. Taking the time to create a safe place within can be helpful because once you have that experience, you can go back to it as often as you want or need. Like any skill, repetition builds greater mastery over what you’re trying to do. This means that repeated listening of this recording makes for greater ease in going back to this pleasant internal state.
​
Awareness Within Guided Meditation
If you struggle to know what you’re thinking or feeling, so you can communicate with other people or just to be in touch with yourself, you might find Awareness Within useful so you can learn to become more aware of your internal state. Knowing what is happening with you physically and emotionally helps you make that her use of therapy, allows you to reduce impulsivity and emotional reactivity, and increases your emotional intelligence. If you can learn how to recognize what you’re feeling and thinking, you have a better chance of explaining that to other people when you’re upset, or when you want something. It is a good foundational skill for being a self-aware human being.

Peaceful Sleep Guided Meditation​
A lot of trauma survivors and people in mourning have difficulty sleeping. You might feel on edge and have difficulty letting go of stress. Your anxiety or depression might be interfering with sleep as well. The recording that helps you with sleep is Peaceful Sleep. As with all the other recordings, please only listen to this when you are in a safe, quiet environment where you won’t be disturbed for at least 20 minutes.
The nice thing about the sleep meditation is that it does not reorient you to being awaken conscious, so you can listen to it and just remain comfortably absorbed in your sleep. You don’t have to worry about someone waking you up out of the state that you achieved during the recording.
​
Be Well Guided Meditation​
You may have also developed concern about your physical well-being with the COVID-19 epidemic and other health concerns that may have developed over time. For this reason, I created the Be Well meditation. Consider it a gift to yourself so you can learn to live in greater harmony with your body, mind, and spirit.
Guided Meditation​ for Complicated Grief
If you're struggling with complicated or traumatic grief, you might get caught up in feeling helpless and incapable of moving forward. This recording can help you remember your strengths and resources, making the grief more bearable.

With time, more recordings and products will be added to this page. I hope you find these recordings helpful for your healing journey. These recordings are not a replacement for mental health treatment or physical health treatment. They are merely tools to help you gain greater peaceful awareness of your internal state. If any questions or concerns arise while you’re listening to them, please let me know and I would be happy to talk to you about working together therapeutically.

​
If you, as a client, receive a recording for hypnosis from me, Lisa S. Larsen, PsyD, please understand the following precautions:
​
-
Please do not listen to the recording while you are driving or doing anything that requires your full, conscious attention. If you must listen in your car, make sure that the engine is off and you are parked in a comfortable, safe place we will not be disturbed or endangered.
-
Recordings work best if you are in a place where outside stimuli (i.e., people/animals) will not disturb you.
-
Repetition of listening helps you practice going into hypnosis and absorbing whatever messages you find most helpful.
-
Please do not share the recordings with other people, as each hypnotic session is made specifically for you.

If you receive a commercial recording, i.e. a general recording for a specific purpose, please respect my copyright and do not distribute it to other people without my expressed permission. Commercial recordings are not meant to substitute medical or psychological treatment. They are for your comfort and self-discovery, but they do not constitute medical or psychological treatment on their own.
