Trauma and PTSD
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.

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 and PTSD
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.

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.

Angie Ratcliff Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, B.Ed, CCC
My insights don't come from theory alone. They come from lived experience, from doing my own inner work, and from years of professional training and hands-on experience. I've sat with people in their most vulnerable moments. I've witnessed breakdowns and breakthroughs. Through it all, I've continued to learn, refine, and deepen my understanding. My approach is warm, connected, and rooted in care. I am both compassionate and direct. I aim to create a safe and expansive space where you can get curious about yourself and your relationship, where compassion becomes part of the process, and where you leave with insight and a sense of hope, knowing yourself a little more than you did when you walked in.

Trudi Jane Wyatt
Psychologist, MA, Registered Provisional Psychologist (AB), RP (ON), CT, CCC, CCTP
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.

Calgary's economy is closely tied to the energy sector, making residents particularly vulnerable to the psychological effects of economic downturns and job uncertainty. The city has a young, ambitious professional demographic with growing mental health awareness, and therapists here frequently address anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, and career-related identity challenges. Calgary also has a growing and diverse immigrant population, with many therapists offering culturally informed care for newcomers navigating settlement stress and identity transitions. Alberta Health Services provides a foundation of public mental health care, with a substantial private practice community serving the inner city and surrounding communities.
