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. Emotional Abuse is 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.

Emotional abuse can be difficult to spot and even more so acknowledge by the victim and abuser alike. Many people minimize the instances of this but the effects run very deeply causing lasting negative consequences if not addressed.

Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., R.P.
Emotional abuse is far too common and has devastating effects. One must work on gaining self-esteem looking at the past to see what occurred to cause them to be in this situation now to heal past wounds and to gain the tools to deal with their current situation.

Collaborative Care Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Social Workers and Psychotherapists
Emotional abuse, with its insidious and often hidden impact, can leave deep and lasting scars. At Collaborative Care Therapy, we approach the healing process from emotional abuse with a compassionate, integrative, relational, and trauma-informed perspective, recognizing the nuanced ways in which this abuse affects individuals.
In our therapy sessions, we create a safe and nurturing environment where you can begin to unpack the effects of emotional abuse. We understand that this form of abuse can undermine self-esteem, distort self-perception, and create a lingering sense of fear or inadequacy. Our goal is to help you recognize and challenge these harmful internalized messages and beliefs.
Our treatment approach is multifaceted, employing evidence-based methods tailored to your individual healing journey. We often use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to address negative thought patterns and beliefs instilled by emotional abuse. In addition, techniques like mindfulness can help in developing present-moment awareness and reducing anxiety, while emotion-focused therapy can assist in understanding and regulating complex emotions that arise from such experiences.
Being trauma-informed, we pay special attention to the traumatic aspects of emotional abuse. We work collaboratively with you to rebuild trust, not only in the therapeutic relationship but also within yourself. Our focus is on empowering you to regain a sense of control and self-worth.
Through our phased approach to therapy, we aim to help you move from a place of hurt and confusion to one of clarity and strength. This journey involves learning to set healthy boundaries, improving self-compassion, and fostering positive, respectful relationships in the future.
Our virtual therapy sessions offer the convenience and comfort of accessing support from your environment, ensuring continuous and personalized care. With Collaborative Care Therapy, embark on a path to healing from emotional abuse and rediscover a sense of self-worth and confidence.
