Trauma and PTSD
Larysa Strizhevsky
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Most people will experience trauma in their lifetime, whether it’s a car accident, abuse or neglect, the sudden death of a loved one, our exposure to the violence or war.
While many people may experience strong symptoms in the early days following trauma and will improve over time, others may discover effects of lasting trauma, which can cause a person to live with deep emotional pain, fear, helplessness, confusion, and develop post-traumatic stress (PTSD) far after the event has passed.
The support, guidance, and assistance of a therapist is fundamental to healing from trauma.
If you are experiencing some of the symptoms listed below, you may have developed PTSD.
Re-experiencing Symptoms
Intrusive thoughts, disturbing memories of trauma, of nightmares, or flashbacks in which it feels as though the trauma is happening again
Avoidance Symptoms
Avoiding specific locations, sights, situations, and sounds that serve as reminders of the event
Anxiety, depression, numbness, or guilt
Negative Mood and Cognition Symptoms
Loss of interest in activities that were once considered enjoyable
Difficulty remembering details of the distressing event
Change in habits or behavior since the trauma
Hyperarousal Symptoms
Anger, irritability, and hypervigilance
Aggressive, reckless behavior, including self-harm
Sleep disturbances
Research has proven psychotherapy to be an effective form of treatment for trauma. Through evidence-based modalities, you will learn mindfulness, relaxation, and regulation tools that will help you to feel safe and secure in the present life. Once you regain stability, we can work on changing the way you process a traumatic experience.
We may explore how your traumatic experience impacted your thoughts and beliefs about yourself, others, and the world. It will help you address issues you may be having since the trauma related to trust, safety, power/control, esteem, and intimacy.
If you struggle with these symptoms and challenges please reach me today for a free consultation.

Trauma and PTSD
Dr. Kim Edwards
Psychologist, C.Psych.
Have you directly experienced, witnessed, or learned about someone close to you who experienced a traumatic event? Do you experience flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and/or intrusive thoughts about the event that last for months or even years following the traumatic event? If so, MindFit can help.
At MindFit, our coaches provide several evidence-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy approaches to trauma treatment including
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
• This program is a 12-session weekly structured treatment that involves education about PTSD, monitoring of events, thoughts and emotions, recognizing and challenging problematic thoughts (that can develop after traumatic events and keep you stuck – e.g., “I can’t trust myself”, “People can’t be trusted”, “Something bad is going to occur again”), writing about the trauma (to examine how you think about it and find ways to live with it), and planning for the future.
Prolonged Exposure (PE)
• This program involves 10-weekly structured sessions and involves a trauma interview and exposures: facing situations and memories that you find scary or may be avoiding to help you learn to cope more effectively. This program also includes breathing retraining, examining reactions to the trauma and planning for the future. The goal is to ease your symptoms and help reduce avoidance (which makes fears worse).
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT)
• TF-CBT is a scientifically-based treatment for children and adolescents and their caregivers/parents affected by trauma
• TF-CBT is a structured short term approach (generally 8-16 sessions)
• A diagnosis of PTSD is not required for TF-CBT
• This program also addresses other aspects of trauma including low mood, anxiety, behavioural challenges, and parent/caregiver distress
• Components of treatment include education about trauma, relaxation skills, processing thoughts and beliefs of the trauma, talking about/unpacking the trauma narrative, exposures (facing feared situations), learning to regulate emotions, and planning for the future

Meaningfully Connected Counselling and Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP
Have you been through something that seems to have shattered you into a million pieces. Do you feel stressed and on edge? Are you cycling between withdrawal and lashing out on others, even loved ones? Do you feel like you are not yourself? Are you isolated and having trouble reaching out to people you would usually reach out to? If so, you may be doing through trauma, and the sudden changes you are feeling are not you or a reflection of you, but of how the body experiences trauma. If you are tired of feeling overwhelmed, and feel like you might be in a better place to deal with what happened or is happening, then please reach out. We work with various traumas across the lifespan such as childhood neglect, emotional and physical abuse, or other personal events that have been devastating and demoralizing. We use an eclectic approach, drawing on numerous approaches including Emotion-focused, Cognitive Behavioural, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, Psychodynamic, Internal Family Systems, Family Systems, Poly-Vagal theory, and Solution-Focused to meet you where you are.
If you are looking for a compassionate therapist who cares not only about your difficulties, but also about how they developed and how they impact you, who is culturally sensitive and aware, and who will support your self-discovery, our team would be honoured to be a part of your journey. Contact us directly to schedule a complimentary phone consultation where we can answer your questions. You deserve a peaceful life.
