Healing from Trauma and PTSD
Support from Evolving Minds
Trauma and PTSD can profoundly impact how you feel, think, and navigate your life. It can leave you feeling stuck in the past, overwhelmed by memories and struggling to cope with daily life.
​
At Evolving Minds Counselling, we appreciate the courage it takes to seek help. Our caring and professional team creates a safe, accepting environment where you’ll always be treated with the utmost respect. We are especially mindful of the vulnerability that comes with trauma and work to ensure you feel heard, understood, and free from judgement.
To support your healing journey, we offer evidence-based therapies tailored to your needs, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Trauma (CBT-T), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Somatic Psychotherapy.
​
Understanding Trauma and PTSD
​
When something traumatic happens, it can feel like the event is replaying in your mind over and over. You might:
​
-
Have flashbacks or nightmares that make you feel like you’re reliving the trauma.
-
Avoid places or people that remind you of what happened.
-
Feel constantly on edge or anxious, as if danger is always near.
-
Experience physical symptoms like tension, pain, or a racing heart.
These reactions are common signs of trauma or PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). It's important to know healing is possible, and you don’t have to face this alone.
​
