Emotional Abuse
Spencer Copland
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC, MCP
Emotional abuse can be difficult to recognize, especially when it’s subtle and ongoing. You may find yourself questioning your reality, feeling “not good enough,” walking on eggshells, or carrying a persistent sense of shame, confusion, or self-doubt. Over time, these experiences can shape how you see yourself and relate to others, often leaving you feeling disconnected from your own needs, voice, and sense of safety.
In our work together, we’ll take a trauma-informed approach to gently explore your experiences and their impact, at a pace that feels safe for you. We’ll focus on rebuilding a sense of trust in yourself, understanding how these patterns developed, and creating space for your emotions and experiences to be met with compassion rather than judgment. This process can help you reconnect with your inner voice, boundaries, and sense of self.
I draw from EMDR, IFS, ACT, Mindfulness-Based CBT, and somatic-based practices, tailoring our work to your needs. When appropriate, EMDR can help process painful or confusing relational experiences, while other approaches support you in strengthening self-trust, emotional regulation, and healthier relationship patterns. Together, we’ll build practical tools while supporting deeper healing and a more grounded, empowered way of relating to yourself and others.
I offer both in-person and virtual counselling sessions. You’re welcome to reach out or visit my website to book a free 20-minute phone consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

Your Story Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MSc, CCC, RMFT, RSW, RP
All of us go through the winding footpaths of life and at one point in time experience moments that create long lasting impacts and changes in ourselves, our environment, and in the trajectory of our lives. Sometimes those experience can be positive, and sometimes they are negative. These negative experiences are we we define as traumatic events. Emotional Abuse is absolutely considered traumatic. Our therapists can help you identify the roots of your struggles and create a custom treatment plan to overcome them. Head over to our website to learn more!
The experience of trauma and traumatic events can be painful and excruciating. Sometimes these experiences leave us at more than just at a loss, but can continue to cause us pain and fear. These experiences can alter the way your mind works. Creating physical and emotional responses to triggers that remind you of your trauma. Even when you are unaware of these triggers, you can be left feeling overactive and hyper-vigilant to certain moments and interactions. The post traumatic consequences (often known as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD) of these triggers is that you can feel like you are on constant alert to prevent future danger and pain; even when there is none to be presently found. If left untreated it can lead to one feeling loss and overwhelmed and increase rates of risky or dangerous behaviours (i.e. increased aggression and violence, increased substance use, increased physical and mental distress).
Our goal is help you heal. We offer a safe space and environment to begin the process of talking about your pain as a means to start processing what had happened to you. Talking about trauma doesn't always mean retelling your story. We work with each individual uniquely in order to find the path of healing that is more effective for them. We utilize a variety of techniques including a highly effective form of trauma therapy called EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help folks through this process in order to help you rediscover hope and empowerment. Understanding our past gives us an ability to take control what we want our future to look like. We believe that all people deserve to live a life free from fear and pain, all of us deserve a little help along the way.
