Trauma Counselling for Cranbrook, BC and Surrounding Areas

Trauma changes who we are.

Trauma refers to any experience which makes you feel powerless, alone, unsafe and overwhelms your nervous system. If you do not receive kindness, validation, and appropriate support at that time, that experience can be stored in your body and mind as trauma, affecting brain integration, nervous system function, physical health, self-image and daily functioning throughout the lifespan.

Everyone has experienced trauma at least once in their life, so you are not alone.

Experiencing trauma can make you feel unsafe, even when there is no immediate threat, which makes it difficult to trust yourself or others and makes closeness and vulnerability challenging.
