Trauma & PTSD
"Trauma is not what happens to you. Trauma is what happens inside of you as a result of what happened to you.” – Gabor Maté
Most of us have experienced trauma at some point in our lives, whether it’s a little t-trauma or big T-Trauma. Trauma impacts our ability to trust our own judgment and feel safe in our bodies.
For many individuals who have experienced trauma, feeling perpetually stuck in unhelpful patterns creates a sense of hopelessness and helplessness. Trauma can feel inescapable, but our brains and nervous systems are capable of healing. You don’t have to do this work alone.
Trauma can be life-changing, but it doesn’t have to control your life. Our goal is to help you work through the trauma to equip yourself with coping strategies and shift the trauma that is stuck in your body. While our counsellors use different treatment approaches to support clients in their trauma work, EMDR is a particularly effective approach. Your resilience has gotten you here. Let us join you in the next step towards finding safety in your body and mind again.
