Trauma is when a person experiences a distressing, stressful or frightening situation that one has difficulty coping with. A person can experience one trauma or multiple traumas that can lead to a reduced ability to cope. Traumatic situations can include but are not limited to: racism, abuse (physical, emotional and/or sexual), neglect during childhood, violence, poverty, war, accidents (car accidents, accidents causing physical injury), residing with a loved one who has mental health or substance use issues, Those who have experienced trauma may have difficulties functioning such as finding it difficult being engaged at work, school or in their personal lives. Trauma can cause the following responses: nightmares, distress, flashbacks, avoidance of reminders of the trauma, using alcohol or drugs to suppress negative thoughts, excessive blame towards others or yourself, isolation, memory issues, trouble experiencing positive feelings, irritability, difficulty concentrating, negative thoughts about oneself, getting startled easily, sleeping issues, risky/impulsive behaviours, anxiety, and being extra vigilant of your surroundings.

Stacy Kirkbride - Turnpage Counselling & Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, Registered Psychotherapist
As a Registered Psychotherapist I provide support in healing from relational trauma, narcissistic abuse, and complex trauma. I offer a safe, empathic, and understanding environment to assist in rebuilding trust and self-worth. The impact of emotional abuse is often overlooked but can lead to a lifetime struggling with self-esteem and symptoms of complex trauma. Whether you are dealing with a current relationship or wanting to explore the impact of previous relationships, I can support you in changing toxic relational patterns, boosting self-confidence, and building a path toward meaningful fulfilling relationships.
