Trauma and PTSD therapists in Bowmanville, Ontario ON, Canada CA
Magdalena Karakehayova
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
When people hear the word 'trauma', they may envision a horrific, life altering event. Although this could very well be the case, trauma is more of an internal process that is dictated not so much by the external event, but rather by the internal response to that event. People who are impacted by trauma are often still connected to that internal reaction and taken back there when they encounter certain triggers. In working with clients who may identify as trauma or PTSD victims, I aim to find ways to process their trauma to whatever degree feels comfortable while also reeling them back into the present moment and coaching them on how to do this outside of therapy. I also aim to strengthen the neuronal pathways that let one know they are safe and that they can heal from the past. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to ensure we are a good fit.

Many of us will experience some form of trauma in our life. Before we can work through the trauma, we need to regulate our nervous system, by practicing breathing or mindfulness, for example.

Natasha Wakefield, RP, Matatoa Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Human Development Counselling
Trauma can be based on single impactful incidents, or a build up of lack of safety over time. Traumatic experiences need to be shared in a safe and supportive environment in order to decrease the brains fight or flight response. More complex trauma needs to be explored and understood using an attachment framework. Whenever possible, I prefer to work with clients suffering form trauma with one or more of their loved ones present. This allows their behaviour to be understood and responded to differently, which is much more effective and efficient than only 1 hour a week. This is optional, as the client sees fit, but is encouraged.
