Trauma and PTSD
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
Trauma is not what happened to us but how our nervous system responded to it. With my clients I work through trauma from a holistic perspective that includes somatic, emotional and spiritual work. Processing our trauma in a safe, non judgemental space allows us to live more integrated and fulfilled lives.

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that affects our mental health. It is characterized by PTSD symptoms that begin after a specific traumatic event or a build-up of trauma over time. This traumatic event or general trauma is often replayed repeatedly in the person's mind, making it appear as if they are continually experiencing this event. This results in the fears and stress associated with the trauma being continually reactivated in the body and mind.
The key to a diagnosis of PTSD is that this trauma, whether experiencing it or witnessing it, leads to debilitating anxiety symptoms that impact one’s ability to function on a day-to-day basis.
