Trauma
"You never know how strong you are, until being strong is the only choice you have."
- Bob Marley
At Invigorate Counselling safety, physically emotionally safety is taken extremely seriously. If you are currently in an unsafe situation, I will strive to create a therapeutic space that feels accepting and safe for you to feel comfortable in disclosing what you are currently experiencing. Working through past trauma can be just as scary and destabilizing and so the same care is taken when venturing into past traumas. Your vulnerability in opening yourself up to process trauma is not to be underscored, it takes an immense amount of strength and courage to place trust in a therapist, and I do not take this lightly.
​
Important exploration may include safety planning for intimate partner violence relationships or self-harm. Or how to process and honour the loss of a loved one. Or finding your place and sense-of-self in the face of major life transitions.
The following are areas of trauma that Invigorate Counselling can assist with:
Acute Trauma
Complex Trauma
Grief
Intimate Partner Violence
