I feel mindfulness and meditation could help me with my PTSD however I am anxious it could trigger flashbacks and dissociation as I suffer with that a lot.
Personally I have found mindfulness great for keeping me in the present moment and feel really grounded I feel it's almost kept me from having a flashback as I feel anchored.

I much prefer mindfulness that requires me to think about something ie brushing my teeth mindfully, or counting as I breathe. I cannot think of nothing or I can get anxious. But I've found mindfulness to be fantastic especially dealing with anxiety.
Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back, everything is different…
you once called your brain a hard drive, well say hello to the virus.
I found mindfulness helpful with my ptsd as it helped me practice grounding myself which helped with flashbacks.
I don't always find meditation helpful but its never had a negative effect on me - sometimes it helps me relax but sometimes it just doesn't really work.
