These injuries can have long-lasting impacts on our nervous systems, leaving us perpetually in a state of fight, flight, freeze, or appease and they require specialized knowledge for treatment. At Transforming Emotions, we will match you with a trauma-informed therapist who understands the unique challenges of stabilization, healing, and post-traumatic growth that are required as part of recovery from PTSD and C-PTSD. Book your free consultation today to help us to match you with the right therapist for your needs.

Nicole Marek
Psychologist, Psychologist/Psychotherapist, OPQ
Research has revealed that when a traumatic event occurs, the emotional reaction can get stored in our bodies. When this happens we call it trauma. I have trained in many approaches to foster trauma recovery and will use one or more in session. I like to apply Somatic Experiencing to connect to and release trauma held in the body, and I use Internal Family Systems to identify and help parts of ourselves whose protective function is no longer necessary or optimal. Trauma work is lengthy and challenging, but I believe it is necessary if we want to be free of the control of our past.

Our bodies remember stories, sometimes stories that have been passed down through generations. Find a way to work with your trauma and PTSD that is gentle, that honours your strengths without asking you to be strong, and that allows space to breathe through creativity. You can share as much or as little of your experiences as you wish.

Dr. Claire Vines, Psy.D., Psychologist / Licensed /Psychotherapy / Psychoanalytic/
Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage, Couples, LMFT. Psy.D. Trauma-Focused CBT
Remembering that psychological trauma and secondary trauma are connected to fears, negative attachments of unattended emotional memories of past events, it is important to remind yourself that the trauma is over; you have survived it. Take the time to externalize painful emotions. Re-evaluating and perspective of the past can heal the present, leading to a more positive time for the future.

Saguenay is a regional city in Quebec's Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region, set among dramatic fjord landscapes in a part of the province that is culturally distinct, strongly francophone, and economically anchored by aluminum production and the forestry industry. Geographic isolation, cold and dark winters, and the economic pressures of a resource-dependent region contribute to elevated rates of depression and seasonal affective disorder, and mental health services are delivered almost entirely in French through the CIUSSS du Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean. The University of Quebec at Chicoutimi (UQAC) has a psychology department that contributes trained professionals to the regional mental health workforce, and both public and private services are available in the city. Common therapy concerns include depression, anxiety, relationship and family stress, and the particular challenges of rural and regional life in a community where access to specialist care may require significant travel or telehealth.
