The Long-Term Effects of Early Life Stress on Mindfulness and Cognitive Abilities.

A study by researchers in Brazil found that individuals who experienced early life stress often had high scores on certain aspects of trait mindfulness, such as nonreactivity and awareness. While early life stress can lead to negative health outcomes, mindfulness-based interventions can promote healthy functioning and build resilience. The study suggests that mindfulness training could be a useful approach for stress management and emotional regulation in those who have a history of early life stress.
