Emotional Abuse Therapy therapists in Kanata, Ontario ON, Canada CA
Ivan Pityk
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Trauma can be either an accumulation of experiences or a specific traumatic event in a person's life that can make them feel stuck in that distressing experience. Traumatic events such as war, natural disasters, and violence can create long lasting effects. There can also be accumulated trauma from years of abuse, neglect, and dysfunctional relationships that can continue to affect us years after the abuse has ceased.
These traumatic events can undermine our perception of ourselves and others, making it difficult to trust the world as safe and yourself as competent and worthy of love. Additionally, flashbacks can involve all five senses, and can cause anxiety, panic attacks, and a generalized stress response.
However, with therapy, the journey to healing the past, understanding the present, and building a more meaningful future can begin.

Melanie Fuller
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
While our minds and bodies function to protect us, our survival strategies may not always produce long-term outcomes which suit how one prefers their life to look. Chronic experiences of the four f's (fight, flight, freeze, fawn) can knock one off balance to their valued, preferred way of living. In therapy, I will integrate my personal and professional training in DBT, to collaborate and form a treatment plan with you that aligns with your values and preferred story, to facilitate the life worth living that you deserve.

Therapy can help rebuild self-esteem and autonomy after experiencing emotional abuse. I can show you what a healthy relationship looks like. Ideally, you will learn that they you not to blame for the abuse. Traumatized people are often reluctant to share details of their abuse.

Are you experiencing panic attacks, anxiety, depression or feelings of shame, fear or anger? Perhaps your sleep is disrupted, or you feel disconnected from your body at times. Psychotherapy can be an effective way to heal from trauma. We will work with you – at your own pace - to make new meaning from past experiences, while teaching you strategies to stay grounded and feel safer in your mind and body.
