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.

Chris Graham
Psychologist, Registered Provisional Psychologist
I believe that trauma can interrupt our ability to connect with others and can be a driver of disconnection. Therapy can help us to reestablish meaningful bonds and experience safety in connection. Book your free 20 minute meet & greet today to see if I might be the right fit for you.

I have extensive training for working with people who have experienced traumatic events and who may have PTSD signs/symtpoms. I employ EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) often for trauma as well as working on distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and boundaries.

Carl Conradi
Counsellor/Therapist, CCC, MSc, MBA
I understand trauma to be an experience that plays out in the body: strong sensations overwhelm its capacity to tolerate everyday occurrences; triggers and memories rip it out of the present and throw it back into the past; and being around other people leaves it feeling like a fragile object. How might we learn to listen compassionately to what our body has to say about trauma? And how might our body come to feel once it knows that it's being listened to?

What is trauma? What are its effects on your daily life? Do you have trauma? It touches everyone at some point in their lives and acknowledging it is step 1 to understanding its origin and working better to move past it.

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.
