Many of us will experience some form of trauma in our life. Before we can work through the trauma, we need to regulate our nervous system, by practicing breathing or mindfulness, for example.

Trauma is our #1 specialty. There are many kinds of trauma "disorders", ranging from single-event PTSD (e.g. surviving a fire) to a more subtle and complex trauma caused by repeated experiences of invalidation, silencing, gaslighting, narcissistic parenting, bullying, and other adverse childhood events. We would like to work with you to overcome emotional flashbacks, recurring nightmares, dissociation, insecurity, depression, anxiety, loneliness, difficulty managing emotions, and other problems associated with trauma.

Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Experiences with trauma can be a debilitating mental health concern that impacts our well-being, relationships and daily living. These moments can be tough to navigate without someone to trust and confide in for support. The first step of seeking help can feel intimidating and overwhelming. I would love to make the process as comfortable as possible for you.

Trauma is an event or experience that is deeply distressing or upsetting, and can have long-lasting effects on an individual's mental and emotional well-being. PTSD, or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, is a mental health condition that can develop after exposure to a traumatic event, such as a natural disaster, combat, sexual assault, or a car accident. PTSD can cause a range of symptoms, including intrusive thoughts and memories of the traumatic event, avoidance of reminders of the trauma, and negative changes in mood and cognition. These symptoms can interfere with daily life and relationships, and may lead to other mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. Effective treatments for PTSD include psychotherapy, specifically Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and medication. Trauma-focused therapy can help individuals process their traumatic experiences, develop coping skills, and reduce symptoms of PTSD. If you or a loved one is struggling with the effects of trauma or PTSD, it is important to seek help from a licensed mental health professional to receive a proper diagnosis and develop a comprehensive treatment plan.

Trauma and PTSD

Although PTSD is usually associated with soldiers returning from war, it covers a significantly wider population. This is because PTSD is a pervasive mental illness that is typically brought on by the experience (or witnessing) of trauma associated with death, threat of death, serious injury, sexual violence, etc. Traumatic events are typically unexpected, and the sufferer can often feel powerless to stop or change the event.

Trauma and PTSD

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.

Trauma and PTSD

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. How McDowall Integrative Psychology & Healthcare can help you. At McDowall Integrative Psychology & Healthcare, we take pride in providing our clients with a warm, confidential and safe environment so you will feel open to discuss whatever is on your mind. Making you feel comfortable each and every time you visit is very important to us. Some stress at work is normal, but if you find yourself under a lot of pressure and this negatively affects other areas of your life such as your social, personal, and physical domains, then you might benefit from our counselling services. We provide a confidential, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment where you can speak to one of our therapists about the issues you are experiencing. We will help you implement some coping strategies or improve your existing ones in order to improve your well-being, not simply during your work day but throughout the long-term. We look forward to working with you through the pressures you are facing and help strengthen your resilience to external and internal contributors of stress.
