Life in Harmony Counselling Services
Counsellor/Therapist
Therapy stands out as one of the most effective approaches for developing long-term strategies to effectively manage the symptoms of PTSD. Diagnosing PTSD can be challenging, as it is often concealed by other symptoms, and individuals may experience periods of being asymptomatic.
Underlying distress in conditions like depression and substance abuse is frequently rooted in a traumatic experience. By working with a therapist in a secure environment, you can address and process your trauma. This therapeutic journey empowers you to regain control over your thoughts and emotions, liberating you from the unconscious grip of trauma. Trauma therapy plays a crucial role in restoring a sense of wholeness and well-being after enduring a traumatic event.

Lolita Abramyan
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Trauma can impact every part of ourselves; the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Trauma, no matter how big or small, makes us feel that we do not have control over our lives and are vulnerable to threat. Trauma often stays in the body and the subconscious mind, until we are ready to address it. With a focus on the nervous system and its role in storing trauma, I provide my clients with a safe, nurturing environment in which they can express and explore their trauma from the past or present. Using practical tools based in CBT, Mindfulness, and Somatic-informed approaches, I help my clients process the trauma in a gradual way. Trauma does not have to control your life. My goal is to collaborate with my clients to help them overcome it and move forward.

Victoria Lorient-Faibish
Registered Psychotherapist, MEd, RP, CCC, RPE
Trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can have a tremendous impact on a person's mental, emotional, and physical well-being. When working to overcome trauma and PTSD, it's essential to address the issue holistically, taking into account the individual's whole being. This includes exploring the root causes of the trauma, examining the physical sensations that arise in the body, and examining how the mind responds to trauma triggers. Peter Levine's work in "Waking the Tiger" emphasizes the importance of addressing the physical sensations associated with trauma. By incorporating techniques such as mindfulness, somatic experiencing, and energy work, individuals can work through the traumas that contribute to PTSD symptoms, helping them to lead healthier, happier lives. Holistic approaches can be powerful tools for overcoming trauma and PTSD, allowing individuals to identify and address the underlying issues that impact their mental health.

Most people will experience trauma in their lifetime, whether it’s a car accident, abuse or neglect, the sudden death of a loved one, our exposure to the violence or war.
While many people may experience strong symptoms in the early days following trauma and will improve over time, others may discover effects of lasting trauma, which can cause a person to live with deep emotional pain, fear, helplessness, confusion, and develop post-traumatic stress (PTSD) far after the event has passed.
The support, guidance, and assistance of a therapist is fundamental to healing from trauma.
