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.

Andrea Laznik Amit
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MA in clinical psychology
If you experienced abuse, neglect or indifference in your childhood, or unusual events later in life- they affect us extensively. We can explore your attachment patterns created as a result of that and the ruptures created when unusual events happen in our life. This will help you regain control of how they affect you in the present.

Clearway Psychology and Wellness Inc.
Psychologist, BA, MACP
Trauma has a way of staying with you long after the event itself has passed, showing up in your body, your relationships, and the ways you move through daily life. I work with individuals carrying the weight of past experiences, including first responders who face trauma and day-to-day on the job stress, as a regular part of the work they do and often don't have a space to process what they've seen and carried. Whether your trauma is recent or something you've lived with for years, therapy can help you begin to make sense of it, reduce its grip, and reclaim a sense of safety and agency in your own life.

Loralee Schultz
Registered Psychotherapist, BSc Psyc, MACP, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) CRPO & CCPA & BCACC Member
Trauma is not just a collection of painful memories from your past; it lives on dynamically in how your physical body and nervous system react to the present. Whether you are dealing with single-incident trauma or long-term complex trauma (C-PTSD), my approach focuses on creating deep, collaborative safety. Using evidence-based frameworks like EMDR, we gently process distressing memories so they finally lose their sharp emotional charge. Our goal is to de-escalate your body's survival responses, unmask childhood or societal expectations, and help you transition from a state of constant survival into a life of true self-discovery.

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.

A ship does not sail with yesterday's wind.
-Louis L'Amour
The collection of memories we each have become a part of our unique human experience. Sometimes past events that were scary, troubling, or traumatic become stuck in our minds and influence our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours in the present. EMDR is one of the ways we can help understand how the past can affect the present. By working together to gently process the old stuff that is getting in the way, healing and growth can occur.

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you are living with trauma or PTSD, you may feel as though your body and mind are still reacting to something that has already happened. You might experience intrusive memories, nightmares, emotional numbness, heightened startle responses, or strong reactions that feel out of proportion to the present moment. Trauma is not simply remembered. It is often stored in the nervous system.
At Selah Counselling, we approach trauma with care, pacing, and clinical precision. Our first focus is safety and stabilization. We help you strengthen grounding skills and nervous system regulation so your body feels more secure before processing traumatic material. In addition to talk therapy, we may use bottom-up approaches that work directly with how trauma is stored in the body. This can include EMDR and other evidence-based methods designed to help the brain reprocess traumatic memories in a way that reduces emotional intensity and restores integration.
Our goal is not to rush the story, but to help you regain a sense of control, clarity, and steadiness. Healing from trauma is possible when the body, brain, and narrative are supported 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.

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.

Embark on an extraordinary journey of courageous healing, transforming the echoes of traumatic experiences into the seeds of profound growth and empowerment. Trauma, with its overwhelming and paralyzing presence, holds within it an unexpected doorway to personal development when met with wisdom and the proper support. Unfortunately, many find themselves grappling with the disorienting and immobilizing effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms.
With the honour of guiding thousands through the intricate process of understanding and methodically healing trauma, I cultivate a therapeutic environment that is more than just safe—it's infused with positivity, warmth, and, when appropriate, a touch of fun. While the path to healing trauma may seem daunting, the journey carries immense benefits for those who bravely confront it with wisdom and robust support systems.
Personally, navigating a significant amount of childhood trauma has equipped me with a profound understanding, coupled with over two decades of professional experience, totalling more than 17 thousand hours of sitting with clients in my psychotherapy practice. Today, I draw from this rich tapestry of personal and professional wisdom to extend hope and support to those on their unique path toward a future marked by more significant health and happiness.
Within you lies transformative potential, akin to emerging "superpowers," waiting to be harnessed as you navigate the intricate healing process. If you're ready to face this challenge with courage and embrace the support you deserve, I wholeheartedly invite you to a consultation. Together, let's chart a course toward a future defined by resilience, growth, and the profound realization of your full potential.
