Traumatic Events, including PTSD are often thought to be so deeply rooted that they a long time to shift. But look at my testimonials to see how effectively and quickly I can help dissolve the link between an incident(s) in the past and the associated feelings that are triggered.

Dr. Birte Nachtwey
Registered Psychotherapist, MD, CORST
Trauma and PTSD are more common than many people think. Terrifying events like accidents or war can cause this. Sexual or emotional abuse are a common causes. It can be a single event or something ongoing over many years to the point that is feels like a normality in which you are trapped. Many victims feel guilt and shame. Some memories are completely blanked out by the brain for many years and come back suddenly, triggered by something, or slowly, sometimes in caareful therapy. Symptoms can be dissociation (part of you goes away), flashbacks (intrusive memories),repeated nightmares, numbness and/or increased anxiety, avoidance (f.ex. of sex, relationships), negative thoughts and moods and altered physical and emotional reactions and behavior..
If you have encountered this and think you may be affected please get help. It is understandable that you don’t feel like dealing with it and want to just push it aside and have nothing to do with it ever again, but if this hasn’t worked too well and it burdens areas of your life like your sex life and your relationship, it is advisable to address this in therapy. You can get help and heal.

Trauma has many forms and faces. When we talk about emotional, and psychological trauma it means we are talking about going through very distressing, frightening or very stressful events. We might find ourselves in situations that were traumatic or we were affected by our experiences of such events. Traumatic events can happen at any time of our lives, from birth to old age; it can cause long-lasting, sometimes lifetime lasting harmful effects. We all are individuals; therefore, everyone has a different reaction to trauma; so, you might notice the effects of it quickly, or a long time (sometimes even decades) afterwards.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychological and physiological condition that is caused by a very frightening or distressing event. There is an old myth that only war veterans can develop PTSD, which is very wrong. For example, a cancer diagnosis, car accident, sexual or physical violence and many other experiences can lead to PTSD. This does not, however, mean that everyone who experiences such life experiences will develop PTSD. People suffering from PTSD often re-live the traumatic event through flashbacks and nightmares. You might experience a lack of concentration or have problems sleeping, perhaps feeling isolated and detached. These symptoms are often persistent and can severally impact your everyday life. Therapy can provide you with a safe space where you will be able to process the traumatic event and your own individual reaction.

Dr Aneliya Gonsard
Psychologist, DClinPscy, MSc, BA
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are unfortunately way more common than many people think. A strong link has been found my many studies between ACEs and physical and mental health problems in later life. Traumatic experiences can also take place in adolescence and adulthood. For some, the impact is greatly distressing and life-limiting, such as in the cases of having post-traumatic-stress disorder.
Many of the people I have come to work with have lived through often multiple adversities and traumatic experiences, throughout their lives. I offer a confidential space where we can think together about the way such experiences have affected you and the parts of you that can change and develop in order to integrate and move on from past traumas.
