Trauma and PTSD
Mark Giesbrecht, MA, CCC, RCC - Psychotherapist
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CT, CCC, RCC
Just because something very difficult and negatively impact-full happened to you doesn't necessarily mean you experienced trauma. Trauma is the bodies way of telling us we have not resolved a past event or period of extreme stress over time. There are steps you can take to change how past events continue to impact you today. Freedom from the past is possible.

Trauma and PTSD
Teo Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, CCC, RPq
As a therapist with extensive experience working with vulnerable populations, including refugees, I understand the lasting effects of trauma on mental health. My trauma-focused approach combines evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients process their experiences and reclaim their lives. With empathy and cultural sensitivity, I create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can heal and rebuild resilience.

Trauma and PTSD
Sagewood Counselling & Consultancy
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
Many, if not most of us have experienced trauma at some point in our lives. Traumas may be very significant events such as sexual abuse, natural disasters, car accidents, loss of a loved one etc. Or traumas can be what we might consider less signifiant events in our lives such as being embarrassed or humiliated or emotional abuse from another person. Although we usually try to do our best to overcome the effects of these experiences on our own, sometimes unresolved trauma can lead to greater difficulties and create parts of ourselves that get 'stuck' leaving us unable to move past the memories and related physiological sensations. Perhaps you are anxious and fearful of certain people, places or situations, or maybe you just always feel 'on edge', and unable to truly relax and feel safe. Maybe you have intrusive thoughts or images that just won't stop. Some people, especially those with PTSD may have flashbacks and nightmares stemming from the traumatic memories. Others often experience muscle tension or chronic pain that may also be related to the trauma(s) experienced, but they have not yet been able to fully process and resolve these experiences. If any of these stress response symptoms sound familiar to you, or if you have experienced trauma in your life and want to be supported as you work through those difficult memories and the places you may find yourself 'stuck', I will do my best to help you find some relief so you can enjoy an improved quality of life.
