Trauma and PTSD
Shaunna Grams, Grams Counselling Services Inc.
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor
Trauma overwhelms our ability to cope, both in the moment and after the event. Our bodies can become stuck in various states (e.g. hyper vigilance or hypo vigilance) and our minds unable to process or respond to information. In order to help restore functionality, both the mind and the body need to be in sync for functional and resilient living.

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.

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.

Lorna Barnes, Oak Tree Counselling
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CT, CPC
Trauma is usually caused when our needs are not met or we experience a disruption in our lives which has made us feel unsafe or insecure. Looking at the root cause of our trauma helps clients to understand how they have responded to traumatic experiences in their lives. I work toward building safety, emotional regulation, boundaries, self-confidence, coping skills, forgiveness and supports.
