Trauma is the emotional wound that is created in response to a deeply distressing or disturbing event such as the loss of a loved one, or perhaps suffering an accident, abuse or surviving a natural disaster. Equally trauma can result from the drip, drip, drip of negative or abusive circumstances outside our control, that impact our sense of safety, trust and ‘okay-ness’ in the world around us. The emotional impact of trauma can result in long term physical and mental symptoms that make it difficult to function in our everyday lives. It wreaks havoc with our relationships with others. Depression and anxiety very often result from the experience of trauma. Talking therapy can help us to validate our experiences and the feelings, or denial of feelings, that go hand in hand with trauma. In time we can hopefully reframe what causes us to suffer and develop skills to cope, so that we can move forward in our lives.

Sehr Athar
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I support clients across the lifespan who have experienced developemental trauma and/or may have a formal diagnosis of Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Trauma's legacy is that our mind and body can get hijacked in the present as if we are acting from the past. My goal in supporting folks with a history of trauma is to develop tools and skills support emotional regulation and management, develop a relationship with their bodies and gain a deeper understanding of how trauma affects the mind and body.

These days, the word "trauma" seems to be a buzz-word that people are using to describe upsetting experiences, but that is so minimizing. Trauma is REAL and huge and overwhelming. It is having horrific things done to you without your consent, it is being in a life-threatening situation, it is having experiences that no one should ever have and which the brain just cannot process on its own. And then somehow having to live a "normal" life thereafter?! Common feelings are guilt, shame, and continued fear; common behaviours are escape, addictions, perfectionism, inability to manage emotions or deal with certain people ... oh so many! And while you have been harmed, you have not been broken. Let's start putting you back together by processing those events and feelings, reprogramming your brain to think differently about yourself, and learning how to live your life differently, free from the demons of the past.
