Trauma Therapy, in Victoria, BC

What Trauma Therapy Is

Trauma therapy is a compassionate healing process focused on understanding and resolving the effects of past distressing experiences that may still influence your body, emotions, and relationships. Rather than just addressing symptoms, trauma therapy explores how experiences have shaped your sense of safety and connection.

Common Challenges Addressed

Trauma can leave lasting patterns such as:

  • Emotional numbness or hyper-arousal

  • Difficulty trusting others or feeling safe

  • Unresolved memories or intrusive thoughts

  • Avoidance of reminders of the past

  • Challenges with relationships or self-compassion

Trauma therapy supports you in understanding and gradually healing these experiences.

How Trauma Therapy Works

In your therapy, we use trauma-informed and integrative approaches including:

  • Somatic therapy: Reconnecting with your body’s wisdom to release tension and cultivate safety.

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS): Exploring internal parts to build a compassionate, internal leadership.

  • Narrative therapy: Reframing the stories you tell yourself toward strengths and resilience.

Together, these methods help you heal through the body, mind, and story with support rather than force.

Who Can Benefit

Trauma therapy is helpful for people who:

  • Carry unresolved memories or distress after difficult events

  • Struggle with emotional regulation

  • Experience anxiety, fear, or hypervigilance

  • Have relational patterns affected by past experiences

Every person’s journey is unique — and your healing pace is honoured here.
