TRAUMA

Are you struggling with the impacts of trauma?

Right now, you might be experiencing:

Distress from Triggers

Anger, fear and sadness are the new normal. Frequent flashbacks and nightmares as a result of what you've experienced.

Disconnection from Body

Being present and aware in your body is a frequent battle. Even knowing when you're hungry or thirsty is a challenge.

Memory Gaps

Inability to remember parts or entirety of your experience, leaving you confused and frustrated.

Stress and Overwhelm

Feeling upset when exposed to anything related, little things impact you more than you feel is 'normal'.

You've started to recognize how trauma is impacting your daily life

Downplaying

You tell yourself “it wasn’t that bad” or compare it to others’ pain. But deep down, you still carry it—in your reactions, your body, your silence.

Always On Alert

Even during calm moments, your body stays tense, like it’s waiting for something to go wrong.

Making Yourself Smaller

You accommodate others to avoid conflict, even when it costs your own needs and boundaries.

Did it really happen?

You’ve shared what happened before but there’s a hollow, distant quality to it. Like it’s been rehearsed, disconnected from your body.

You’re wondering so now what?

Common questions

How can therapy help?

Trauma therapy can help you reconnect with your body, rebuild safety, and process your experiences in a way that honours your pace. We use affirming, anti-oppressive, and somatic approaches to help you:

Regulate your nervous system and emotional responses
Reclaim your sense of agency and self-trust
Unpack trauma stories with care—only when and if you’re ready
Cultivate safety in your body, relationships, and daily life

What if I'm not sure?

You don’t need a diagnosis to start therapy. If any of this resonates with you, we welcome you to explore it with us—no pressure, no judgment.
