Trauma and PTSD

Mark Giesbrecht, MA, CCC, RCC - Psychotherapist

Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CT, CCC, RCC
Just because something very difficult and negatively impact-full happened to you doesn't necessarily mean you experienced trauma. Trauma is the bodies way of telling us we have not resolved a past event or period of extreme stress over time. There are steps you can take to change how past events continue to impact you today. Freedom from the past is possible.

Licensed Professional Counsellor, CCC, MPS-AT
Art therapy can be especially effective for helping people through trauma and with PSTD. So often our impactful negative experiences are too painful or difficult to put into words, and talk therapy just doesn't cut it. Through creative expression, we can access the deeper psyche truths and process information in a safe container together.

Trauma and PTSD

Nina Hopmeier

Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Trauma is a reaction that individuals have in response to an event that they perceive as overwhelming. Responses to trauma can be so overwhelming that completing daily tasks, such as going to work, or getting out of bed, may be a struggle. A significant symptom of trauma is feeling as if the traumatic event is still happening, sometimes, even years after the event occurred. In therapy, we go through various stages of trauma work that help clients regain safety and wellbeing. Through experiential exercises clients have the opportunity to re-tell their story in a safe and nonjudgmental environment. I also offer multiple techniques that alleviate anxiety and help "put the brakes on" in case trauma work becomes too overwhelming. Once clients have strategies to cope with their trauma symptoms, which may include sadness, anger, and/or dissociation, they often experience renewed hope for the future. Additionally, I help clients gain insight into their internal experiences through psychoeducation on the relationship between trauma responses and brain activity.

Trauma is a normal reaction to adverse life events. If you are suffering with feelings of anxiety or dread, low energy, or low mood, you may be dealing with the after-effects of trauma. Trauma is often accompanied by nightmares or flashbacks. Any of these symptoms are hard to deal with and can cause additional problems like poor sleep, poor memory and focus, and difficulty making decisions. Even everyday tasks can feel like a major undertaking when you are struggling with these symptoms. If your life feels harder than it should, please reach out to us for a free consultation to talk about treatments and strategies to address these issues. We are here to discuss your unique situation and find a plan personalized for you and your needs.
