TRAUMA INFORMED COUNSELLING SERVICES FOR ADOLESCENTS (AGE 10+) AND ADULTS
Trauma Healing
Specializing in trauma work with youth and adults, we support people in understanding and healing the impacts of overwhelming life experiences and chronic stress.
Trauma can occur when the nervous system has experienced an event or cumulation of events that overwhelms the nervous system and an individual`s ability to cope. Trauma may result from experiences and stressors such as accidents, medical procedures, illness, abuse, loss, not having had our needs met, loss, major life transitions, and ongoing stress.
Common symptoms of traumatic stress include anxiety, panic, low moods, flashbacks, difficulties sleeping or relaxing, anger outbursts, emotional reactivity, hypervigilance, racing thoughts, muscular tension, low energy, exhaustion, disconnection, addictions, and physical syndromes or chronic pain.
