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.

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.

Jennifer McDonald (Nurture Me Counselling)
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, Certified Trauma-Informed Coach
Do you feel disconnected from yourself? Do you push away the painful memories and experinces? Are you fearful of facing those experinces and this is keeping you from truly taking back your life and healing from your experience? Trauma affects us all very differently. There is no one way to navigate the complex emotions, feelings and biological changes that occur in the presence of trauma. Together, we can journey down this path to self awareness and discover your truths. Once we come to understand the beliefs, behaviours and emotions that come with trauma, we will be able to turn our focus to learning more about how to heal from them and work towards a life that you feel in control of.

Lisa Low (Alliance Counselling and Assessment Services)
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, BA, M.Ed., RCC
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a disorder that can occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event. The typical psychological response to a traumatic experience is shock or experiencing acute stress. However, people with PTSD have intense, disturbing thoughts and feelings related to their experience that last long after the traumatic event has ended.
Through a trauma-informed approach therapy can be a safe space to unpack traumatic events, and develop tools and strategies to cope and thrive. EMDR is an effective therapy that it utilized to process trauma.
