Trauma and PTSD
Fiona Matalon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
Trauma is not what happened to us but how our nervous system responded to it. With my clients I work through trauma from a holistic perspective that includes somatic, emotional and spiritual work. Processing our trauma in a safe, non judgemental space allows us to live more integrated and fulfilled lives.

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.

Inner Wisdom Counselling and Art Therapy (Tracey Gramm)
Counsellor/Therapist, RTC, EXAT, FOT, CDP
I utilize Eugene Gendlin's Focusing Oriented Therapy and Peter levine's Somatic Experiencing in my treatment of Trauma and PTSD. Trauma may show up as dissociation, or fight/flight sense of survival. We feel frozen in our pain as we struggle to relax and let go of stress. Trauma is healed through expressive arts therapy as well - healing is manifested through restoration of one's imaginative capacity. These three modalities help support resilience and self regulation and reduces anxiety, hyperarousal or overactivation. I offer trauma informed therapy in Surrey / Langley where you play an integral part in your treatment, connecting to your inner wisdom and insight as you heal your trauma.

Shaunna Grams, Grams Counselling Services Inc.
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor
Trauma overwhelms our ability to cope, both in the moment and after the event. Our bodies can become stuck in various states (e.g. hyper vigilance or hypo vigilance) and our minds unable to process or respond to information. In order to help restore functionality, both the mind and the body need to be in sync for functional and resilient living.

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.
