TRAUMA THERAPY | BOWMANVILLE, ON
Understanding Trauma
Trauma is the emotional response to distressing or threatening events that overwhelm our ability to cope.
While everyone’s experience is unique, trauma can cause ongoing struggles such as:
-
Flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive memories
-
Heightened anxiety or fear
-
Emotional numbness or detachment
-
Difficulty trusting others or maintaining relationships
-
Irritability, anger, or hypervigilance
-
Guilt, shame, or self-blame
-
Trouble concentrating or sleeping
-
Feeling disconnected from your body or surroundings
It’s important to know: trauma is not a sign of weakness. It is a natural response to experiences that felt unsafe or overwhelming.
And with the right support, healing is possible.
Types of Trauma We Support
Our therapists work with clients who have experienced many different forms of trauma, including:
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) – following accidents, violence, or other distressing events
Complex Trauma (C-PTSD) – repeated or ongoing trauma, often in childhood or close relationships
Childhood Trauma – neglect, abuse, bullying, or unstable environments
Relational/Attachment Trauma – difficulties formed through unhealthy or unsafe relationships
Medical Trauma – trauma linked to illness, injury, or medical procedures
Intergenerational Trauma – patterns of trauma passed down through families or communities
Every person’s experience of trauma is different, which is why our approach is always personalized and compassionate.
