Trauma and PTSD
Life in Harmony Counselling Services
Counsellor/Therapist
Therapy stands out as one of the most effective approaches for developing long-term strategies to effectively manage the symptoms of PTSD. Diagnosing PTSD can be challenging, as it is often concealed by other symptoms, and individuals may experience periods of being asymptomatic.
Underlying distress in conditions like depression and substance abuse is frequently rooted in a traumatic experience. By working with a therapist in a secure environment, you can address and process your trauma. This therapeutic journey empowers you to regain control over your thoughts and emotions, liberating you from the unconscious grip of trauma. Trauma therapy plays a crucial role in restoring a sense of wholeness and well-being after enduring a traumatic event.

Trauma and PTSD
Kayla Schofield
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
We all have experienced negative events but not necessarily trauma. Trauma is an emotional response to a terrible event like an accident, rape, or natural disaster. Immediately after the event, shock and denial are typical. Longer term reactions include unpredictable emotions, flashbacks, strained relationships, and even physical symptoms like headaches or nausea.

Lolita Abramyan
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Trauma can impact every part of ourselves; the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Trauma, no matter how big or small, makes us feel that we do not have control over our lives and are vulnerable to threat. Trauma often stays in the body and the subconscious mind, until we are ready to address it. With a focus on the nervous system and its role in storing trauma, I provide my clients with a safe, nurturing environment in which they can express and explore their trauma from the past or present. Using practical tools based in CBT, Mindfulness, and Somatic-informed approaches, I help my clients process the trauma in a gradual way. Trauma does not have to control your life. My goal is to collaborate with my clients to help them overcome it and move forward.

Danielle Battaglia
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Do you think you might be suffering from Complex PTSD? Have you experienced repeated, prolonged exposure to traumatic events such as: childhood abuse, neglect, disrupted attachment, relational trauma, domestic violence, bullying? Do you ever feel internally chaotic, or disconnected from your self and others? Trauma shapes our nervous system and leaves our bodies bracing to be hurt again which is often experienced as living in a constant state of fight or flight.

Registered Psychotherapist, MEd, RP, CCC, RPE
Trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can have a tremendous impact on a person's mental, emotional, and physical well-being. When working to overcome trauma and PTSD, it's essential to address the issue holistically, taking into account the individual's whole being. This includes exploring the root causes of the trauma, examining the physical sensations that arise in the body, and examining how the mind responds to trauma triggers. Peter Levine's work in "Waking the Tiger" emphasizes the importance of addressing the physical sensations associated with trauma. By incorporating techniques such as mindfulness, somatic experiencing, and energy work, individuals can work through the traumas that contribute to PTSD symptoms, helping them to lead healthier, happier lives. Holistic approaches can be powerful tools for overcoming trauma and PTSD, allowing individuals to identify and address the underlying issues that impact their mental health.

Alysha Bernstein
Registered Psychotherapist, RP(qualifying), MACP
I have extensive training as a clinical traumatologist and have spent over a decade working with clients who have experienced either single-incident trauma or chronic developmental childhood trauma. This is the specialty I am the most passionate about and feel competent and ready to sit with whatever shows up in session. This is why I became a therapist.

Mind By Design®
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychology and Coaching Clinics
Although PTSD is usually associated with soldiers returning from war, it covers a significantly wider population. This is because PTSD is a pervasive mental illness that is typically brought on by the experience (or witnessing) of trauma associated with death, threat of death, serious injury, sexual violence, etc. Traumatic events are typically unexpected, and the sufferer can often feel powerless to stop or change the event.

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.

Synergetic Healing Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Ever felt like you were merely surviving in life instead of thriving? There may be a possibility that you've experienced something traumatic. The truth is that trauma ranges from not being heard as a child to experiencing a catastrophic event. Trauma can show up in the body as chronic physical or emotional pain. Either way, it's best to have your situation re-assessed by a professional to see how these layers of trauma have been blocking you from living the life you deserve.
