Trauma and PTSD
Sarah Elizabeth McMillan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MA, MSW, RSW
Mental health support for physical illness, pain and uncertainty. We know that anxiety, depression and chronic stress often occur in tandem with physical illness but can be overlooked or we may fear addressing these mental health challenges directly. During a health crisis we are often required to put much of our lives on hold and may not have a chance to grieve or attend to other areas of our life. PTSD and medical trauma may be the result of a sudden health crisis, medical intervention, or from repeated interactions with the healthcare system. The effects of ableism, discrimination and systemic oppression can feel heavy and lasting.

Very many people have experienced traumatic events in their lives. These experiences can leave one feeling unsafe, a sense helplessness and loss of trust. After a traumatic event one may experience any combination of the following:
- flashbacks

- difficulty staying present
- de realization or depersonalization.
- a sense of panic
- difficulty sleeping
I work from a trauma informed perspective. I practice a multi-modal style of therapy. I find drawing on techniques from several approaches allows me tailor my sessions to meet the needs of each client, depending on what they bring to therapy.

Whether you are dealing with a current relationship or wanting to explore the impact of previous relationships, I can support you in changing toxic relational patterns, boosting self-confidence, and building a path toward meaningful fulfilling relationships.

ASR Counselling and Psychotherapy, Attachment and Trauma-informed
Registered Social Worker, HonBA, BSW, MSW, RSW, EMDR Certified
I have dedicated over twenty years to supporting clients through various forms of trauma and PTSD. I have witnessed how traumatic events get stored in such a way that one's understanding of self and world become impaired. My dedication to the area of trauma has revealed a profound truth: at the heart of recovery from painful life events is the ability to heal what is stuck. Using treatment strategies like EMDR, Ego state work, attachment-focused, client-centered practice I will work with you to tackle the pieces of your experience that remain stuck, leaving you with a sense of relief and a neutralized experience of the trauma and PTSD.

PTSD affects millions each year and may occur at any age, including early childhood – triggered by a traumatic event such as a natural disaster, an accident, war, rape, or other violence. Depression and anxiety are conditions that commonly accompany PTSD. You can live a happy life, one that enables you to reach your full potential, even if you have PTSD. The key to doing so may largely rest in working with a licensed professional.
