PTSD/Trauma
Shannon MacGregor
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, RTC, MTC, RCS, NARM Therapist
Past and recent painful life experiences such as adverse childhood experiences, domestic abuse,
intergenerational, racial trauma, accidents or any other distressing or disturbing events can cause psychological, emotional, spiritual, and physical trauma, often resulting in unfavorable behaviors and strategies, called coping mechanisms, to manage the emotional stress and pain. Unresolved trauma damages a person’s sense of safety, self-evaluation, as well as their ability to regulate emotions and navigate relationships with self and others. By concentrating on what’s happening in your body, you can get in touch with trauma-related energy and tension, and your natural survival instincts will take over, safely releasing pent-up energy through shaking, crying, and other forms of physical and emotional release.

PTSD/Trauma
Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
Trauma immediately causes a change in our physiology and readies our body to fight, flee or freeze. Trauma embeds itself in our brains and bodies, perhaps partly because of the human will to survive. We have to both understand it and gently take away its power. Trauma is unique: what is traumatic for one person may not be traumatic to another. Trauma causes a miss-match between what we see and reality, causing us to over-react and plunge our bodies into a state of panic: adrenalin flowing and a state of readiness to fight, flee or freeze. Later, our bodies may be plunged into that same hypervigilance for no real reason: that is PTSD. Often we mask how we feel and act how we 'know we should', widening the gap between how we feel inside and what we do. If we don't recognize trauma straight off, and process and heal it, the result of that trauma builds inside us with every new traumatic event, also leading to PTSD. If you have experienced trauma - something that you personally have found traumatic - come explore it. Don't let it take over your life?

Nicklas Ehrlich
Counsellor/Therapist, MSW, RCC (#0843), RSW (#11561), Psychotherapist, Counsellor, Life-Coach, Hypnotherapist, Advanced Neurofeedback Trainer
Trauma and PTSD is greatly helped when the central nervous system/brain is reset from "fight-flight-freeze-collapse". Trauma can live in the unconscious mind, nervous system/brain for years as the mind and the body do not know that the trauma is over. Neurofeedback and hypnosis disconnect trauma.

Hardie Counselling & BrainWorX, Inc
Registered Psychotherapist, BFA, B.Ed, MA, CPC, CCPCPR, CCAC, ICADC, CSAT, CCTP, CCTACP
PTSD is more common and complex than many realize. Often, it's mistakenly limited to military veterans, survivors of natural disasters, or victims of violence. However, PTSD can affect anyone, regardless of socioeconomic status, life experiences, age, or gender. It impacts well-being in four key ways: biologically, psychologically, socially, and spiritually.
Individuals are at higher risk if they have experienced direct trauma exposure, witnessed trauma, experienced trauma as a child, or did not receive adequate help.
If you or someone you know is struggling, I am a trained trauma therapist ready to help you recover and heal so you don't have to continue suffering.

Mindful Connections Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist
Trauma doesn't stay in the past; it lives in the body, in the nightmares and flashbacks, in the hypervigilance that never lets you fully rest, in the numbness that keeps everyone at arm's length. What happened to you was not your fault, and how you've survived makes sense. You'll find a warm, nonjudgmental space here where safety and trust come first, always, and where we move only at your pace. Drawing on approaches like EMDR, the goal isn't just to manage symptoms, it's to help your mind and body finally understand the danger has passed, so you can genuinely reconnect with yourself and the people you love. Together we'll work toward feeling more grounded, safer in your own skin, and more equipped to live fully in the present.
