Trauma and PTSD
Samantha Diminutto
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CCC, MPS-AT
Art therapy can be especially effective for helping people through trauma and with PSTD. So often our impactful negative experiences are too painful or difficult to put into words, and talk therapy just doesn't cut it. Through creative expression, we can access the deeper psyche truths and process information in a safe container together.

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.

Creative Spirit Therapy by Kari Gundersen
Registered Psychotherapist, RTC, RYT
We used to think trauma was a car accident, a war scene, or a violent assault. But today we know the signs of post-traumatic stress are apparent in most of us. Learning how to manage the symptoms and regulate your emotions will help your life feel like yours again.

Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Trauma is a reaction that individuals have in response to an event that they perceive as overwhelming. Responses to trauma can be so overwhelming that completing daily tasks, such as going to work, or getting out of bed, may be a struggle. A significant symptom of trauma is feeling as if the traumatic event is still happening, sometimes, even years after the event occurred.
In therapy, we go through various stages of trauma work that help clients regain safety and wellbeing. Through experiential exercises clients have the opportunity to re-tell their story in a safe and nonjudgmental environment. I also offer multiple techniques that alleviate anxiety and help "put the brakes on" in case trauma work becomes too overwhelming.
Once clients have strategies to cope with their trauma symptoms, which may include sadness, anger, and/or dissociation, they often experience renewed hope for the future. Additionally, I help clients gain insight into their internal experiences through psychoeducation on the relationship between trauma responses and brain activity.

Seven Vistas - Professional Life Coach and Counsellor
Counsellor/Therapist, PCC, RPC-C, NLP Master Practitioner
Trauma can get trapped in the body in incomplete states. Imagine if your muscle couldn't let go of the lactic acid that burns during a workout, now imagine that is your nervous system, emotions, mind. Sitting on the edge a trigger that can rattle you straight back to the moment it happened, or shake you down into fight, flight or freeze. It still feels real, yes, it is still real to your body and nervous system. The body and mind can be taught to re-learn about this threat, to have new responses.
