What is Trauma?
Trauma is more than a past event—it’s an unresolved experience that affects your brain, body, and emotions. It can manifest as anxiety, hyper-vigilance, insomnia, flashbacks, or dissociation, impacting daily life and well-being.
When trauma leaves an imprint, it rewires how you perceive and respond to stress. But healing is possible. With the right support, you can regain a sense of safety, reconnect with yourself, and move forward.
Your Path to Post Traumatic Growth
Healing looks different for everyone. At Life Wise Counselling, we use research-backed, trauma-informed approaches tailored to your unique needs and goals.
Trauma can leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or hopeless, but recovery is possible.
By fostering agency—the ability to shape your future—we help you regain control. Through mindfulness, introspection, and therapies like EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we work collaboratively to help you process trauma safely and move forward.
