Trauma and PTSD
Dr. Christine Sauer
Life Coach, MD;ND
Trauma and post-traumatic stress are common. may of us suffered adverse childhood events, not aways are we aware of it. Traumatic events, depending on your genetic and other "landscape" of your brain, can be permanently encoded in the amygdala in your brain. This is what causes the symptoms of PTSD. Psychosensory methods, like EMDR, EFT and Havening Techniques and Havening Touch, when administered by an experienced Practitioner, can remove the stress-encoding from the event memory and so remove the symptoms that may bother you and allow a new and more helpful way of processing the event/s that caused the symptoms.

Trauma and PTSD
Nave Nijjar, Hear to Heal Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, CCC
Do you find yourself reliving your trauma event over and over? Do you often feel overwhelmed or on edge? Experiencing or witnessing trauma can be a transformative experience. Any sudden and unexpected event that negatively impacts your well-being and sense of security can lead to difficulties in coping after the event. You may constantly feel anger, irritation, or a general sense of overwhelm due to the aftereffects of a more recent traumatic event (or even one that happened long ago).

Carolina Rojas
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors
Understanding our relationship with trauma is one of the keys to developing preferred narratives in our lives. Getting to know how it influences you and those around you. Exploring what tricks and tools you have in standing up to the trauma and its triggers as a way to develop an alternative path. Looking after our wounded selves and even carrying the scars with pride as definite act of compassion and power.

Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC (Registered Clinical Counsellor)
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy:
EMDR is a structured/manualized psychotherapy for people who have experienced trauma(s) in their life. It is different from talk therapy because the therapist uses specific detailed protocols and procedures such as the eight phases of treatment in EMDR. You do not need to know what this all means right now. Trust that there is a road map and plan to facilitate healing. There is less focus on therapist talk/interpretations. There is less focus on you speaking about trauma at depth. The progress gained is from your enhanced psychological processing. EMDR incorporates eye movements, tapping techniques, and other methods to unblock an imbalance in the brain’s information processing system. EMDR provides relief from symptoms and emotional distress as a result of trauma(s) (e.g., reducing intensity of PTSD symptoms and trauma related memories). The EMDR therapy process facilitates natural healing processes of the mind and removes blocks to healing.
