Trauma and PTSD
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.

Trauma and PTSD
EMDR and Trauma Therapy Centre
Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
The co-occurrence of past trauma and current discomfort is evident in both trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Traumatic events, which are ingrained in attachment ties, have the power to shattered feelings of safety and security, leaving lasting emotional wounds. Whether stemming from childhood neglect, abuse, or adult trauma, these experiences can disrupt the ability to form secure attachments and regulate emotions. Therapy becomes a sanctuary for healing, providing a safe space to explore the underlying attachment dynamics and process the echoes of past traumas. By fostering self-compassion, nurturing secure attachments, and integrating traumatic memories, individuals can begin to reclaim agency over their lives, forging a path towards healing, resilience, and reclaiming a sense of safety and wholeness.

Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, RCT, RCC, CCC, ATR-P
At Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy, we specialize in providing dedicated support for individuals navigating Trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). We offer a comprehensive approach to trauma recovery, incorporating evidence-based modalities such as Trauma-Informed Stabilization Technique, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and Somatic Experiencing to promote healing and resilience.
Our therapists are trained to create a safe and compassionate space where clients can explore their traumatic experiences, process difficult emotions, and work towards reclaiming their sense of safety and empowerment. We understand the profound impact of trauma on the mind and body and tailor our therapeutic interventions to address the complex interplay between emotional, physical, and psychological responses to trauma.
By drawing on Trauma-Informed Stabilization Technique, we support clients in developing grounding strategies, enhancing emotional regulation, and fostering a sense of stability as they navigate the healing process. Additionally, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Somatic Experiencing techniques help individuals address trauma stored in the body, promoting a deeper understanding of somatic responses and facilitating the release of stored tension and stress.
Our approach to trauma recovery is collaborative, client-centered, and holistic, focusing on promoting self-awareness, self-regulation, and integration of traumatic experiences. We support clients in building resilience, developing coping skills, and fostering a greater sense of agency and empowerment in their journey towards healing and recovery.
We are dedicated to providing trauma-informed care that honors the unique experiences and needs of each individual. Our goal is to create a supportive and empathetic therapeutic environment where clients can feel heard, validated, and supported as they work towards reclaiming their sense of self and moving towards a life of greater peace and wholeness.

My primary work with trauma and PTSD is through accelerated resolution therapy (ART) which must be done in person. However, talk therapy can also be quite effective for trauma and PTSD and can be offered virtually in most cases.
