Trauma and PTSD
Jayne Batten
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CT, RPC, MPCC
Trauma is the emotional wound that is created in response to a deeply distressing or disturbing event such as the loss of a loved one, or perhaps suffering an accident, abuse or surviving a natural disaster. Equally trauma can result from the drip, drip, drip of negative or abusive circumstances outside our control, that impact our sense of safety, trust and ‘okay-ness’ in the world around us. The emotional impact of trauma can result in long term physical and mental symptoms that make it difficult to function in our everyday lives. It wreaks havoc with our relationships with others. Depression and anxiety very often result from the experience of trauma. Talking therapy can help us to validate our experiences and the feelings, or denial of feelings, that go hand in hand with trauma. In time we can hopefully reframe what causes us to suffer and develop skills to cope, so that we can move forward in our lives.

Megan Hanrahan
Psychologist, M.C., Registered Psychologist
Trauma is how our bodies and minds react to distressing events of the past. Sometimes trauma results in a diagnosis of PTSD, but it can also lead to various other mental health diagnoses. Trauma can show up for us in many different ways, but it can often impede our ability to connect with others, be our full genuine selves and live our lives to the fullest. In our work together, we’ll start to identify signs of trauma, how it’s impacting you and work on ways to process through it. I have training in Accelerated Resolution Therapy, which is a treatment modality for processing trauma.

Tiffany Smith
Psychologist, Registered Provisional Psychologist
Your experience of trauma can be something that is impacting your life and mental health in a variety of ways. By working with a therapist you can begin to safely explore and process your experiences. Together we can begin recognizing some of the physical sensations, thought patterns and behaviours that might be attributed to traumatic experiences. In our work together you can expect to laugh, cry, practice new skills, and explore new ways of living.
