Trauma and PTSD
Victoria Lorient-Faibish
Registered Psychotherapist, MEd, RP, CCC, RPE
Trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can have a tremendous impact on a person's mental, emotional, and physical well-being. When working to overcome trauma and PTSD, it's essential to address the issue holistically, taking into account the individual's whole being. This includes exploring the root causes of the trauma, examining the physical sensations that arise in the body, and examining how the mind responds to trauma triggers. Peter Levine's work in "Waking the Tiger" emphasizes the importance of addressing the physical sensations associated with trauma. By incorporating techniques such as mindfulness, somatic experiencing, and energy work, individuals can work through the traumas that contribute to PTSD symptoms, helping them to lead healthier, happier lives. Holistic approaches can be powerful tools for overcoming trauma and PTSD, allowing individuals to identify and address the underlying issues that impact their mental health.

Do you think you might be suffering from Complex PTSD? Have you experienced repeated, prolonged exposure to traumatic events such as: childhood abuse, neglect, disrupted attachment, relational trauma, domestic violence, bullying? Do you ever feel internally chaotic, or disconnected from your self and others? Trauma shapes our nervous system and leaves our bodies bracing to be hurt again which is often experienced as living in a constant state of fight or flight.

Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW
The origins of EMDR are rooted in working with PTSD and trauma. This evidence-based therapy has been proven to work with symptoms including anxiety, depression, phobias, and panic. Gestalt therapy is an empathetic and relational approach that supports the specific needs of the client and fosters self understanding and growth. These two modalities complement each other to produce holistic and comprehensive healing.

Kayla Schofield
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
We all have experienced negative events but not necessarily trauma. Trauma is an emotional response to a terrible event like an accident, rape, or natural disaster. Immediately after the event, shock and denial are typical. Longer term reactions include unpredictable emotions, flashbacks, strained relationships, and even physical symptoms like headaches or nausea.

Riki Stopnicki
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Following a traumatic event, PTSD can leave individuals feeling trapped in a perpetual state of danger and haunted by painful memories. However, by acquiring new coping skills, it is possible to regain a sense of safety and progress forward. I utilize CBT to assist individuals with PTSD by challenging and reframing unhealthy thought processes and emotions associated with their trauma. By addressing these thought processes, clients can acknowledge the reality of their traumatic experiences. Moreover, CBT aids in increasing emotional insight by exploring responses triggered by trauma reminders. By enhancing awareness of the link between responses and emotions, CBT enables individuals with PTSD to mitigate the negative impact of panic responses in
their daily lives and reduce their severity.Overall, CBT serves as a valuable tool in improving the daily functioning and overall well-being of individuals living with PTSD, which is what I strive to achieve.

David Rockman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW RSW BA psych hon
Trauma-informed therapy is a huge part of my work. I take an Existential Therapeutic Approach to treating Trauma and PTSD. Trauma is often the result of abuse and attachment wounds / ruptures. Through our work together, clients develop active self-compassion, heal their trauma responses, heal family ancestral trauma, and learn to love themselves.
