Healing from Trauma: PTSD and Complex PTSD Therapy Services

Experiencing trauma can deeply impact your life, manifesting in various ways such as difficulties concentrating, intense fear, anxiety, shame, anger, and persistent distressing thoughts. At the Meilan Counselling Clinic, we offer trauma-informed therapy to support individuals navigating PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) and Complex PTSD.

Understanding Trauma Symptoms:

  • Emotional and Psychological Challenges: Trauma survivors may feel excessively afraid, anxious, or ashamed, and may struggle with feelings of vulnerability, anger, or guilt. They might also experience hypervigilance, startle easily, or feel intensely helpless.

  • Intrusive Symptoms: Disturbing thoughts, flashbacks, nightmares, and persistent perceptions related to the traumatic event(s) can disrupt daily life and emotional well-being.

  • Avoidance and Withdrawal: Individuals may avoid triggering situations, isolate themselves socially, and disengage from activities that remind them of the trauma. Substance use may also be used as a coping mechanism.

Our Therapeutic Approach:

At Meilan Counselling Clinic, we provide a safe and compassionate space to work through traumatic memories with patience, sensitivity, and respect. Our trauma-informed therapy aims to:

  • Promote Healing and Recovery: Therapy helps individuals manage challenging thoughts and emotions related to trauma, fostering a path towards healing and recovery.

  • Improve Functioning: Enhance social, occupational, and family functioning by addressing symptoms that impact daily life.

  • Stabilize Moods: Reduce distress, intrusive thoughts, and emotional numbness, helping individuals regain stability and resilience.

  • Restore Joy and Peace: Support clients in rediscovering peace and joy in life, cultivating a sense of hope and empowerment.
