Trauma Counselling

Trauma is defined not by the event that caused it, but by your body’s response to it. Trauma can be either acute or relational. Acute trauma (sometimes called “big T trauma”) can occur due to a wide range of distressing events, including the loss of friends or loved ones, random acts of violence, accidents, or living through traumatic events, like war or natural disasters. Relational trauma (sometimes called “little T trauma”) tends to be caused by things that happen over and over (chronic misattunement, abuse, neglect), typically within a relationship and sometimes during your developmental periods.

Trauma can also develop into post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) which can be even more debilitating.

Unfortunately, the concept of trauma is quite new in the field of psychology, so many counsellors either aren’t equipped to handle it, or they try to avoid dealing with it altogether.

Our counsellors offer both online trauma therapy, and in-person trauma counselling in Victoria and Langford, B.C., and they pride themselves on staying up to date on all the latest trauma-related research, so they’re more well-equipped than most to understand your trauma and help you heal from it.
