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
Madison Chen
Counsellor/Therapist, MCP, RCC (Registered Clinical Counsellor)
Trauma is not an event, or a series of events. It is the painful imprint an experience, regardless of its severity, has left on your psyche and body. The devastating impact trauma have on your nervous system means that traumatic memories often feel fragmented, bizarre, unprocessed, and terrifyingly current. In session, we try to "piece it all together," while simultaneously calming and comforting our bodies and mind. Slowly, gently, and surely, our bodies can heal from trauma, making you whole as you are meant to be.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a disorder that can occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event. The typical psychological response to a traumatic experience is shock or experiencing acute stress. However, people with PTSD have intense, disturbing thoughts and feelings related to their experience that last long after the traumatic event has ended.
Through a trauma-informed approach therapy can be a safe space to unpack traumatic events, and develop tools and strategies to cope and thrive. EMDR is an effective therapy that it utilized to process 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.
