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.

Trauma and PTSD
Hiba Khatkhat @ Under The Oaks Self Care Center
Registered Psychotherapist, MA CMHC, RP
We don't believe that you just have to learn to live with your trauma, and you just have to learn to cope with your pain and suffering. Healing can happen when we create the conditions and structures for it. And now, more than ever, there are science-backed approaches for long-term healing.
Trauma is about what imprint is left inside of you from the experience. The experience can be big such as abuse and other horrific events or seemingly small; sometimes even insignificant to others. It's more about what happens inside of you as a result of what's happening outside of you.

Trauma and PTSD
Mind By Design®
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychology and Coaching Clinics
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
Lori Schledewitz
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RP
Do you find yourself dealing with current or past trauma? Experiencing feelings of shame and worthlessness, no thoughts or feelings about your future or poor concentration and memory, nightmares or sleeplessness, increased anxiety or episodes of panic - and curious or fearful of what may have happened to you?
I can relate to what you are struggling with and understand how hard it can be to cope with these issues, including the desperation you might feel that current coping strategies aren't working.
I am here for you. I understand that traumatic events or experiences (even indirect ones) can overwhelm your ability to cope, adding to the sense of powerlessness, frustration and lack of control. As humans, we have a fundamental need to feel safe, protected and loved - and when our world is turned upside down, and those basic needs are unmet, we do our best to restore some balance, an innate biological response of survival mode.
There is hope. Together we will develop flexible ways to manage this survival response and work towards resolving trauma using an integrative approach and a compassionate lens. It takes work to override that protection autopilot, but if you are ready for a change in your life (or even curious), I am willing to roll up my sleeves, get in the trenches and work alongside you. You deserve to experience freedom, peace and joy and live a rich and meaningful life.

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.
