THAT'S WHY HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS CAN BE DIFFICULT FOR TRAUMATIZED INDIVIDUALS.

If you've experienced a distressing event that has interrupted your emotional and physical well-being, there's a chance you may be struggling with some trauma symptoms.  Trauma is assessed through the subjective (but very real) experience of particular emotional states and the body feeling hyjacked.  Trauma isn't diagnosed by the event, but through the way in which the individual experiences the event.  People often aren't able to recognize they're experiencing trauma and can go through day to day life while they feel that things are crumbling around them. Typical trauma symptoms:

• unresolved feelings
• anger
• flashbacks
• isolation
• dissociation
• hopelessness
• helplessness
• shame
• guilt
• fear
• vulnerability
• avoidance or people/places
• hyper-vigilance

Trauma counselling needs to be individualized to you, not pushing you towards any type of treatment that might not be your best fit.  As a Trauma counsellor, I have training and experience to navigate the symptoms that are holding you back!
