Trauma Therapy Across Ontario & New Brunswick
Healing the hurt takes time with the right support.
You may be thinking trauma healing isn't possible...The amount of time that this has been your normal is too much to realize.
Something is wrong with me, but I don't understand it.
You've realized that experiences from your past, no matter how long ago, still creep up and bother you unexpectedly. Leaving you feeling lost, and afraid.
You've been living in the extreme state of anxiety for so long, it's all you can recall.
THOUGHTS ARE RACING, palms sweaty, HEART BEAT RACING, stomach drops. Then the memories replay like a detailed movie in your mind. Unable to stop the mind, meanwhile feeling on edge, of when they will happen again.
You are already experiencing rapid consuming thoughts, feeling like your feet are too heavy to move, the daily exhaustion, and even a moment more is too much to bear the pain. Stuck in feelings of guilt and shame, unable to identify the "ROOT CAUSE" of where this came from.
You are overwhelmed, and unsure how to make things right again in your life. You know you want the suffering to end, and you want to return to feeling like your old self, connected to your life, and being energized enough that you feel ready to conquer the day.

How Does Trauma Therapy Actually Happen?
Trauma Therapy involves focusing on 3 phases of treatment. When you understand this, you can choose to go through all 3 phases, or just engage in Phase 1 if preferred. Discuss your preference with Shelley
Phase 1: Understanding the symptoms, experiences, triggers, and how to cope.
Phase 2: Processing the traumatic experience. This helps to resolve the emotional and physical "charge" that you experience every time you recall the event or relive it. It helps you reduce the suffering effectively with restoring balance in the mind body energy systems with EFT Tapping.
Phase 3: Reconnecting in your community, and repairing relationships that matter to you. You will feel less isolated and alone.
