The term trauma encompasses the psychological impact of situations or events that can lead us to feel like we are in the presence of danger, even in the absence of the specific situation or event. Trauma is a subjective experience, meaning it can look different for everyone, and something traumatic for one person may not be for another. Moreover, trauma includes what happened to you, but also what did not happen to or for you. Trauma can be simple, complex, developmental, intergenerational, or historical. Trauma can affect various aspects of an individual’s life and functioning, such as relationship issues, physical ailments, sleep problems, emotional dysregulation, memory problems, and more. Counselling for trauma helps individuals with the symptoms that remain after traumatic events. Counselling aims to explore traumatic events, provide better understanding of the experience, while aiding in the discovery and implementation of adequate coping strategies.

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.
