Domestic Abuse or Violence
Caroline Boutefeu
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Domestic abuse or violence can occur in the context of romantic or family relationships and can include physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. The effects of this form of abuse can have seriously implications on a survivor's mental and physical health. Common effects are depression, anxiety, addiction, PTSD and Complex PTSD as well as injury, chronic pain, and disability. If left ignored, these difficulties can be difficult to cope with and often survivors will notice that they continue to experience patterns of abuse in future relationships. If you're going through it right now, or have been battling the symptoms for a while, you might feel hopeless and alone.
I have extensive experience in supporting survivors of intimate partner violence and I'm trained in evidence based therapies to support you in your healing journey. These therapies include: Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), CBT and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy for PTSD (DBT-PTSD). I'm happy to work with you at any stage that you're at and whatever situation you're in - if you are still in the abusive situation and do not want to leave or are contemplating leaving, if you have recently left or have been away from the abuse for a while.

Your Story Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MSc, CCC, RMFT, RSW, RP
All of us go through the winding footpaths of life and at one point in time experience moments that create long lasting impacts and changes in ourselves, our environment, and in the trajectory of our lives. Sometimes those experience can be positive, and sometimes they are negative. These negative experiences are we we define as traumatic events. Domestic Abuse and Violence are absolutely considered traumatic. Our therapists can help you identify the roots of your struggles and create a custom treatment plan to overcome them. Head over to our website to learn more!
The experience of trauma and traumatic events can be painful and excruciating. Sometimes these experiences leave us at more than just at a loss, but can continue to cause us pain and fear. These experiences can alter the way your mind works. Creating physical and emotional responses to triggers that remind you of your trauma. Even when you are unaware of these triggers, you can be left feeling overactive and hyper-vigilant to certain moments and interactions. The post traumatic consequences (often known as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD) of these triggers is that you can feel like you are on constant alert to prevent future danger and pain; even when there is none to be presently found. If left untreated it can lead to one feeling loss and overwhelmed and increase rates of risky or dangerous behaviours (i.e. increased aggression and violence, increased substance use, increased physical and mental distress).
Our goal is help you heal. We offer a safe space and environment to begin the process of talking about your pain as a means to start processing what had happened to you. Talking about trauma doesn't always mean retelling your story. We work with each individual uniquely in order to find the path of healing that is more effective for them. We utilize a variety of techniques including a highly effective form of trauma therapy called EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help folks through this process in order to help you rediscover hope and empowerment. Understanding our past gives us an ability to take control what we want our future to look like. We believe that all people deserve to live a life free from fear and pain, all of us deserve a little help along the way.
