Trauma and PTSD
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.

Trauma and PTSD
Dr. Christine Sauer
Life Coach, MD;ND
Trauma and post-traumatic stress are common. may of us suffered adverse childhood events, not aways are we aware of it. Traumatic events, depending on your genetic and other "landscape" of your brain, can be permanently encoded in the amygdala in your brain. This is what causes the symptoms of PTSD. Psychosensory methods, like EMDR, EFT and Havening Techniques and Havening Touch, when administered by an experienced Practitioner, can remove the stress-encoding from the event memory and so remove the symptoms that may bother you and allow a new and more helpful way of processing the event/s that caused the symptoms.

Trauma and PTSD
Kat Herbinson
Therapist, MA, RCC
Trauma is an area of particular interest for me and I have experience working with many different methods to support people in clearing their trauma. Parts work, or Internal Family systems, is one of my favourite approaches because it's an efficient and effective way to get past our internal defense mechanisms and create sustainable change.
I have undergone training and co-facilitated legal (Canada-Health approved) psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy session for patients in palliative care and others with PTSD. I provide integration sessions for people who want to debrief from their journeys to support them in bringing forward their learnings into their day-to-day life.
I have also helped to ghost-write a book about a trauma processing method which I use with clients who are having a difficult time getting "unstuck" after experiencing a traumatic event or series of events.
