Trauma and PTSD
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?

Trauma affects more than just your memories. It can live in the body, shape your emotions, and influence the way you move through the world. Whether your trauma is the result of a single event or a series of experiences over time, healing is possible. We offer trauma therapy that honours your story, your pace, and your path to recovery. We understand that trauma looks and feels different for everyone. It might show up as anxiety, fear, numbness, emotional overwhelm, or even physical pain. You may feel stuck in patterns you can’t explain. Whatever you’re carrying, our experienced therapists are here to help you feel safe, supported, and empowered to begin healing on your own terms.
