Ekta Abhay Lather
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Trauma refers to the emotional and psychological impact of experiencing distressing or life-threatening events. It can arise from various situations, including accidents, abuse, natural disasters, or the loss of a loved one. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a specific mental health condition that may develop after experiencing or witnessing trauma. Individuals with PTSD often face symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and emotional numbness, which can disrupt daily life and relationships. It's important to understand that trauma affects everyone differently, and recovery is possible. Seeking support from mental health professionals, engaging in therapy, and connecting with support groups can be vital in the healing process. By acknowledging and addressing trauma, individuals can work toward reclaiming their lives and finding a path to resilience and 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.

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.

McDowall Integrative Psychology and Healthcare
Psychologist, Psychologist, Registered Psychotherapist, Pre Registration Professionals
The primary indicators of PTSD are 1) re-experiencing of the event, through flashbacks, nightmares and distressing memories, 2) avoidance, through numbing the emotions and feeling detached from others, and 3) hypervigilance and a chronic state of anxious arousal. They may feel irritable and have outbursts of anger and may stop participating in activities and relationships that used to bring them happiness before the event. These are natural reactions to the extreme stress they have endured, and continue to endure, and can make life very difficult for the individual and those who love them.
If you or someone you know has experienced a traumatic event, you may recognize some of these symptoms in yourself or your friend/loved one. Take heart, because there is help and there is hope. PTSD is often a chronic condition, but it does not have to be a permanent life sentence. With courage and perseverance, you can overcome your body’s safety mechanisms and protective behaviours and break free of the debilitating cycle of fear, avoidance, pain, and confusion.
