Trauma and PTSD
Whitney Reinhart
Registered Psychotherapist, MA., RP.
The effects of trauma can leave us feeling vulnerable and unsafe long after the event itself. So often people can be left feeling hopeless, disconnected, and ashamed. Healing these wounds are essential to developing a strong sense of self, positive self view, and safety within relationships. I work from a trauma-informed perspective and pull from approaches that will allow us to build an understanding of the protective strategies formed to survive the emotional and mental impact of the trauma, and cultivate self-acceptance and trust with ourselves and others.

Understanding trauma can be complicated. It can be obvious with apparent symptoms or sometimes it may be buried beneath depression, anxiety, and anger. Trauma is an emotional response to a traumatic or distressing event (war, accident, abuse, unexpected loss, etc). It can cause emotional and physical symptoms and last for years after the event has concluded. Individuals who have experiences traumatic events may have difficulty coping, and symptoms can worsen over time as well as impact your day to day functioning, if you do not receive effective treatment. It can increase your risk for other mental health challenges, and disrupt your job, your relationships, your health, and enjoyment of everyday activities. That’s why it is so important to seek the right help.
Psychotherapy approaches that use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy have consistently been found to be the most effective treatment of trauma and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) both in the short term and the long term. Psychodynamic, Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy can also be effective in treating trauma and PTSD.

Nave Nijjar, Hear to Heal Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, CCC
Do you find yourself reliving your trauma event over and over? Do you often feel overwhelmed or on edge? Experiencing or witnessing trauma can be a transformative experience. Any sudden and unexpected event that negatively impacts your well-being and sense of security can lead to difficulties in coping after the event. You may constantly feel anger, irritation, or a general sense of overwhelm due to the aftereffects of a more recent traumatic event (or even one that happened long ago).

Bree Bonanno
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Ever felt like you were merely surviving in life instead of thriving? There may be a possibility that you've experienced something traumatic. The truth is that trauma ranges from not being heard as a child to experiencing a catastrophic event. Trauma can show up in the body as chronic physical or emotional pain. Either way, it's best to have your situation re-assessed by a professional to see how these layers of trauma have been blocking you from living the life you deserve.
