Creative Spirit Therapy by Kari Gundersen
Registered Psychotherapist, RTC, RYT
We used to think trauma was a car accident, a war scene, or a violent assault. But today we know the signs of post-traumatic stress are apparent in most of us. Learning how to manage the symptoms and regulate your emotions will help your life feel like yours again.

Seven Vistas - Professional Life Coach and Counsellor
Counsellor/Therapist, PCC, RPC-C, NLP Master Practitioner
Trauma can get trapped in the body in incomplete states. Imagine if your muscle couldn't let go of the lactic acid that burns during a workout, now imagine that is your nervous system, emotions, mind. Sitting on the edge a trigger that can rattle you straight back to the moment it happened, or shake you down into fight, flight or freeze. It still feels real, yes, it is still real to your body and nervous system. The body and mind can be taught to re-learn about this threat, to have new responses.

Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, RCT, RCC, CCC, ATR-P
At Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy, we specialize in providing dedicated support for individuals navigating Trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). We offer a comprehensive approach to trauma recovery, incorporating evidence-based modalities such as Trauma-Informed Stabilization Technique, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and Somatic Experiencing to promote healing and resilience.
Our therapists are trained to create a safe and compassionate space where clients can explore their traumatic experiences, process difficult emotions, and work towards reclaiming their sense of safety and empowerment. We understand the profound impact of trauma on the mind and body and tailor our therapeutic interventions to address the complex interplay between emotional, physical, and psychological responses to trauma.
By drawing on Trauma-Informed Stabilization Technique, we support clients in developing grounding strategies, enhancing emotional regulation, and fostering a sense of stability as they navigate the healing process. Additionally, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Somatic Experiencing techniques help individuals address trauma stored in the body, promoting a deeper understanding of somatic responses and facilitating the release of stored tension and stress.
Our approach to trauma recovery is collaborative, client-centered, and holistic, focusing on promoting self-awareness, self-regulation, and integration of traumatic experiences. We support clients in building resilience, developing coping skills, and fostering a greater sense of agency and empowerment in their journey towards healing and recovery.
We are dedicated to providing trauma-informed care that honors the unique experiences and needs of each individual. Our goal is to create a supportive and empathetic therapeutic environment where clients can feel heard, validated, and supported as they work towards reclaiming their sense of self and moving towards a life of greater peace and wholeness.
