Trauma and PTSD
Mark Giesbrecht, MA, CCC, RCC - Psychotherapist
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CT, CCC, RCC
Just because something very difficult and negatively impact-full happened to you doesn't necessarily mean you experienced trauma. Trauma is the bodies way of telling us we have not resolved a past event or period of extreme stress over time. There are steps you can take to change how past events continue to impact you today. Freedom from the past is possible.

Trauma and PTSD
Laura Romero
Psychologist, MC, R.Psych
Trauma and PTSD are very dynamic subjects. There is an extraordinary amount of work that the therapist and client need to do together before trauma can be addressed and processed. I have training in EMDR, taking a trauma-informed approach, attachment therapy and I take a holistic approach so clients (hopefully) feel like that are in a safe and caring space. Trauma shows up for people in a variety of ways and can hijack their daily lives. I'm here to support clients on their journey to moving through their trauma, so eventually they can put some time and space between them and their trauma, which ultimately gives them more control over their lives.

Megan Hanrahan
Psychologist, M.C., Registered Psychologist
Trauma is how our bodies and minds react to distressing events of the past. Sometimes trauma results in a diagnosis of PTSD, but it can also lead to various other mental health diagnoses. Trauma can show up for us in many different ways, but it can often impede our ability to connect with others, be our full genuine selves and live our lives to the fullest. In our work together, we’ll start to identify signs of trauma, how it’s impacting you and work on ways to process through it. I have training in Accelerated Resolution Therapy, which is a treatment modality for processing trauma.

Trauma and PTSD
Jayne Batten
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CT, RPC, MPCC
Trauma is the emotional wound that is created in response to a deeply distressing or disturbing event such as the loss of a loved one, or perhaps suffering an accident, abuse or surviving a natural disaster. Equally trauma can result from the drip, drip, drip of negative or abusive circumstances outside our control, that impact our sense of safety, trust and ‘okay-ness’ in the world around us. The emotional impact of trauma can result in long term physical and mental symptoms that make it difficult to function in our everyday lives. It wreaks havoc with our relationships with others. Depression and anxiety very often result from the experience of trauma. Talking therapy can help us to validate our experiences and the feelings, or denial of feelings, that go hand in hand with trauma. In time we can hopefully reframe what causes us to suffer and develop skills to cope, so that we can move forward in our lives.
