Trauma Counselling: Vancouver, BC
Trauma Counselling Vancouver & Critical Response Counsellors
The experience of trauma is very personal and unique for each person, and if not dealt with properly, can have a very serious and detrimental life-long impact.. And even though traumas can be so powerful in impacting our lives, they are not always known or even remembered by the individual. Some may keep the event in the forefront of their minds, others may try to bury it out of all recognition. What event one person may never remember may cause another person to have lasting memories that cause fear, anxiety, and depression. And whether or not you have suppressed your trauma or think about it repeatedly, it can affect numerous areas of your life, often times in ways that you are completely unaware of.

The actual events that create a traumatic experience are secondary to how an individual interprets these events and integrates them into their life and decision making. Understanding how to work through these experiences is what your Theravive counsellor or psychologist is trained to do. Skilled in both interpreting the events and your response to them, your trauma therapist will work through how this situation is affecting your life and begin to unravel the perceptions and decisions that were made regarding this event.
What Happens During A Trauma or Traumatic Experience?
As you experience the events of a traumatic situation, whether it is a car accident, or a physical assault, your body tries to protect you from being hurt. This may result in an emotional shutting down during the situation, or a detachment from the events leading up to the trauma. Many times, individuals may block the memories of the event so they do not have to think about it, while at the same time, emotionally experiencing depression, sadness, anxiety, fear, or any number of other emotions that result from the unprocessed event. Working with a trauma counsellor in Vancouver, BC provides a safe and comfortable environment to work through the situation and be free of the emotional elements you are experiencing. More than simply coping with these emotions, your Theravive counsellor is trained to resolve these experiences. This leaves you free of the event rather than needing to keep pushing it out of your mind or blocking the thoughts which takes a lot of energy and focus leaving you drained and unable to move towards growth in your life.
