There is no such thing as "a better technique". What works and resonates with you might be completely useless for someone else and vice versa. Experiment with a lot of techniques and see what works for you. Tantra Yoga has a huge toolkit of techniques for this very reason. Because if you keep experimenting with a variety of techniques you will eventually find one that sticks with you. And then you can make modifications that suites you even better. Have fun with it and be creative.

I find that 'do nothing' is good when the mind is quiet. If the mind is agitated you'll just get monkey mind. So, if the mind is agitated, concentration might be best. Focusing on one object, such as the breath (the one I use, the breath coming in and out of the nostrils).

Once the mind is quiet, do nothing will take you to awareness itself, which is where you want to "get to".

Look into the mega-thread here on Kriya Yoga. Daniel Odier is a good author who has books on various different tantric techniques. Christopher Wallis is a scholar and practitioner of Tantric Shaivism. I'd recommend to check out their work to get a good overlook.

Kriya Yoga

Psychedelics

Those are the two most powerful techniques I know of.

And also week-long solo retreats.

@Leo Gura This is a powerful information! I know you've said his before on the forum, but maybe it would be helpful for people to have this at a more accessible point. On the "Start Here"-page maybe, or maybe a video "The actualized.org path - how to become enlightened 2.0".

Just an idea.

Btw, Kryia IS fucking powerful and just started being serious about psychedelics, will share progress as I go along.

This is something you have to decide for yourself. But don't place all your bets on that it will heal your trauma.

Gabor Mate was recently on Brand podcast. Was very interesting. He talks a lot about trauma. He also mentions Ayahuasca. Might be worth checking into for healing trauma. Or psychedelics in general. It won't automatically fix your issues, you will actually have to do some serious emotional work and have courage to face what is coming up.
