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.

Life in Harmony Counselling Services
Counsellor/Therapist
Therapy stands out as one of the most effective approaches for developing long-term strategies to effectively manage the symptoms of PTSD. Diagnosing PTSD can be challenging, as it is often concealed by other symptoms, and individuals may experience periods of being asymptomatic.
Underlying distress in conditions like depression and substance abuse is frequently rooted in a traumatic experience. By working with a therapist in a secure environment, you can address and process your trauma. This therapeutic journey empowers you to regain control over your thoughts and emotions, liberating you from the unconscious grip of trauma. Trauma therapy plays a crucial role in restoring a sense of wholeness and well-being after enduring a traumatic event.

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.

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.
