Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
Trauma immediately causes a change in our physiology and readies our body to fight, flee or freeze. Trauma embeds itself in our brains and bodies, perhaps partly because of the human will to survive. We have to both understand it and gently take away its power. Trauma is unique: what is traumatic for one person may not be traumatic to another. Trauma causes a miss-match between what we see and reality, causing us to over-react and plunge our bodies into a state of panic: adrenalin flowing and a state of readiness to fight, flee or freeze. Later, our bodies may be plunged into that same hypervigilance for no real reason: that is PTSD. Often we mask how we feel and act how we 'know we should', widening the gap between how we feel inside and what we do. If we don't recognize trauma straight off, and process and heal it, the result of that trauma builds inside us with every new traumatic event, also leading to PTSD. If you have experienced trauma - something that you personally have found traumatic - come explore it. Don't let it take over your life?

Angela Fawcett
Counsellor/Therapist, BSW, MSW, RSW
Trauma can come from many different experiences and it can affect people in many different ways. You might notice feeling on edge, easily startled, emotionally overwhelmed, numb, or disconnected. Some people experience flashbacks, nightmares, or strong reactions that feel hard to understand or control. Even when the event is in the past, the impact can still feel very present.
I help people make sense of how past experiences are showing up in the present and how they are affecting thoughts, emotions, body responses, and relationships. We work at a pace that feels safe, helping you understand the protective responses that developed over time and how they may be getting triggered now.
We also focus on practical ways to feel more grounded and present, including learning tools to calm the nervous system, reduce overwhelm, and build a greater sense of safety in your day to day life. Alongside this, we gently work with the parts of you that carry fear, shame, anger, or pain, so they do not have to carry it alone.
Healing does not mean forgetting what happened. It means gradually feeling more present, more in control of your responses, and more able to live without the past feeling like it is happening all over again.

Shelley Hanna Psychology
Psychologist, MACP Registered Psychologist
EMDR therapy for trauma and PTSD with Certified EMDR therapist Shelley Hanna. EMDR is a World Health Organization approved therapy for trauma and other related disorders. PTSD can cause avoidance behaviours, feeling irritable or angry, distrupting relationships by feeling distant, sleep problems, feeling bad about yourself and the world and unhealthy coping mechanisms among other symptoms. EMDR therapy can help through a process that does not require excess talking or explanation of the event. Your therapist assists with preparation for noticing how trauma shows up in the body and processes it through with alternating stimulation to your brain with eye movement, tapping, or auditory stimulation.

Daniel Klassen
Psychologist, Provisional, (P7619) with CAP in Alberta & Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC 19147) with BCACC, for elsewhere in Canada
Trauma refers to any deeply distressing or disturbing experience that overwhelms a person’s ability to cope. These experiences can range from physical or sexual assault to natural disasters, serious accidents, or witnessing acts of violence. When trauma remains unresolved, it can lead to lasting psychological effects, including the development of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or Complex PTSD (CPTSD).
PTSD typically emerges after a single traumatic incident and is characterized by symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, heightened anxiety, and intrusive thoughts. In contrast, CPTSD results from prolonged or repeated trauma—especially during times when escape or protection is not possible, such as in childhood or in abusive relationships. Those living with CPTSD often grapple with emotional dysregulation, persistent negative self-beliefs, and enduring difficulties in forming or maintaining relationships.
Dissociation—a state in which a person disconnects from their thoughts, feelings, memories, or even their sense of identity—is also a common response among trauma survivors. This protective mechanism can make individuals feel emotionally numb, detached from their surroundings, or as if they are observing their life from outside their body.
Daniel, a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional Level 2 (CCTP-II), has advanced training in treating trauma, CPTSD, and dissociative symptoms. He works with clients to process and resolve trauma, address emotional wounds, and develop healthier, more adaptive coping strategies. His integrative approach may include therapy, medication, and other supportive interventions—empowering individuals to reclaim control, restore inner balance, and rebuild their lives with renewed strength and resilience.
Daniel offers both brief screening for trauma, PTSD and CPTSD and comprehensive, customized assessments. He welcomes inquiries regarding this and other psychological testing services he provides.

Penelope (Penny) Yen
Psychologist, BA (Hons), MACP, Registered Provisional Psychologist
My therapy style is one of candid compassion. I will wholeheartedly support you and keep your best interests at the forefront without coddling you or feeding you BS.
I integrate several modalities depending on the presenting issue and who you are as a person. I often draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which I like to call CBT for people who care about why we do the things we do. I have also completed several other trauma-focused trainings designed to relieve the effects of trauma.

Samuele Bariani
Registered Psychotherapist, MDiv, RP
Trauma is not simply what happened to us but mainly how we internally coped to overwhelming moments. In the long term, the strategies that kept us alive can become fixed patterns that no longer serve us to flourish and fully live the present. Together in therapy, we can create a safe and collaborative space in which you can no longer feel alone in dealing with the symptoms of trauma. We will slowly focus on healthy coping strategies to regulate your emotions and your physical reactions so that when you feel overwhelmed again you will be able to regain control and soothe yourself. As therapy unfolds, you will decide what details of your traumatic experience you feel ready to share while I will support you with the use of specific modalities such as Narrative Therapy and Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) in order to access, process and rewrite the story of your trauma.

Vibrance Psychological Services Inc
Limited License Psychologist, MACP
A traumatic event is time-based whereas PTSD is a longer-term condition where the individual continues to have flashbacks and re-experiences the event. This can affect their quality of life and overall wellbeing. I utilize the psychodynamic approach and trauma-informed perspective to support clients navigate through this and begin their healing process in an empathic and non-judgmental space.

Shauna Switzer, MCP, MA RP
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MCP, Registered Psychotherapist
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences and distressing memories. EMDR supports the brain’s natural ability to reprocess trauma, reducing the emotional intensity connected to past events while helping clients develop healthier beliefs, emotional regulation, and a greater sense of safety and empowerment. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is a body-centred approach to trauma therapy that focuses on how trauma is stored within the nervous system and the body. For individuals living with PTSD, this approach helps increase awareness of physical sensations, emotional responses, and survival patterns in a safe and gradual way. By integrating both mind and body in the healing process, clients can build greater emotional regulation, restore a sense of control, and move toward lasting recovery from trauma.

Kevin Ruddell
Psychologist, M.A., R. Psych
Trauma can be any event that as a perpetual negative impact on an individual. A common outcome from those that have been traumatizes is PTSD whereby individual re-experience feels of fear and anxiety as a result of the traumatic event. By processing the events and learning how to survive beyond the trauma we can find new ways to thrive in life rather than just survive.

Trauma is often viewed as an “event” or “experience” like a terrible accident, abuse, a disaster, a death, etc. And it is a common view that the event or experience has to be considered “big” like these examples. And while such events and experiences can definitely be traumatic, other views expand on this, such as with the thinking that:
>Trauma is not an event or an experience as such, it’s what’s stored in the brain and the body. (There is a book called “The Body Keeps the Score” by Dr. Bessel Van Der Kolk describing this.)
>“Traumatic experiences” don’t have to be so “big”, and what is traumatic for you might not be traumatic for someone else, depending on things like if someone is more sensitive than someone else.
Also, sometimes events enacted, witnessed, or experienced can be impactful because they run counter to your sense of morality and ethics, and these can be difficult to recover from too.
While some people spontaneously recover from trauma over time with the love and support of family and friends, others may suffer from effects of lasting trauma, which can vary greatly from person to person but might include living with deep emotional pain, avoiding reminders of the event or experience, feeling depressed or nervous, feeling like the event is still happening, feeling very angry or guilty, having difficulty sleeping, judgments of self or others, or other effects, long after the actual experience has passed.
In these circumstances, the support, guidance, and assistance of a counsellor can often be helpful in lessening the impact of the event or events on your life in the here and now, such as by helping you find healthy ways to cope with the lingering effects of the trauma, though certainly the road can sometimes be difficult.
If you feel you are living with the effects of trauma and are wanting a more satisfying and values-directed life, I might be able to assist.
