Therapy for Trauma and Complex Trauma

Healing from trauma is deeply personal and unique to each individual. It requires time, compassion, and support to understand the impact trauma has had on your life. In my practice, I take a trauma-informed, person-centred approach that combines multiple therapeutic techniques to meet you where you are. Whether you are navigating acute, chronic, or complex trauma, therapy can help provide structure, safety, and a pathway for healing.

What's Involved In Trauma Therapy

When dealing with trauma, it can feel overwhelming to face the emotional pain and complexity of what you've experienced. Therapy can help you explore these difficult emotions in a safe and supportive environment. Through our work together, we can move toward:​

​

  • Understand the impact of trauma: Therapy helps you gain insight into how trauma has shaped your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This understanding is key in breaking the cycles of distress that trauma can cause.

​​

  • Build coping strategies: While working through trauma can bring up challenging emotions, therapy provides tools to manage triggers and distress. You'll develop practical skills to navigate emotional ups and downs, promoting emotional resilience.

​

  • Process and grieve: Part of healing involves processing and grieving the pain of past experiences. Together, we will approach these emotions in a way that respects your pace and needs, helping you move forward without rushing the process.

​

  • Reconnect with yourself: Trauma often leaves individuals feeling disconnected from themselves or others. Through therapy, we work to restore your sense of identity and self-worth, helping you build a more authentic and empowered relationship with yourself.

​

  • Support healthy social engagement: As healing progresses, reconnecting with others can be a powerful way to rebuild trust and develop new, healthy relationships. Therapy provides support for safe social engagement, helping you re-enter relationships with renewed strength.

The Challenge of the Work

 

While therapy can be beneficial, it’s important to recognize that working through trauma can be challenging. The process of confronting and processing past pain often stirs uncomfortable emotions and memories. Healing takes time, and there will likely be moments of discomfort along the way. But with the right support and therapeutic approach, these challenges become part of a journey toward reclaiming control and finding peace.​
