Trauma and PTSD therapists in Salmon Arm, British Columbia BC, Canada CA
Valerie Dessaulles
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC
As a paramedic for twelve years I have personally witnessed many traumatic situations first-hand. This gives me the ability to ask you more specific questions about the incident in order to help you understand your reactions, or why you feel certain ways. I understand how certain smells, sounds or places can trigger memories which may make life feel challenging.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy:
EMDR is a structured/manualized psychotherapy for people who have experienced trauma(s) in their life. It is different from talk therapy because the therapist uses specific detailed protocols and procedures such as the eight phases of treatment in EMDR. You do not need to know what this all means right now. Trust that there is a road map and plan to facilitate healing. There is less focus on therapist talk/interpretations. There is less focus on you speaking about trauma at depth. The progress gained is from your enhanced psychological processing. EMDR incorporates eye movements, tapping techniques, and other methods to unblock an imbalance in the brain’s information processing system. EMDR provides relief from symptoms and emotional distress as a result of trauma(s) (e.g., reducing intensity of PTSD symptoms and trauma related memories). The EMDR therapy process facilitates natural healing processes of the mind and removes blocks to healing.
