How Can I Heal From Trauma?
After you have experienced a traumatic event, you may wonder how you will ever heal. The path to healing is rarely easy, but with the right support, it can transform the physical, emotional, and psychological tolls of trauma into a renewed sense of resilience.
How Candy and Sugar Can Affect Different Trauma Responses
Sugar, in the form of candy or other sweet treats, can offer a temporary sense of comfort and relief from emotional distress. The rapid release of dopamine, a "feel-good" neurotransmitter, can provide a brief escape from painful emotions and a way of coping with traumatic memories.
How does EMDR work?
EMDR works on the premise that when we experience a traumatic event, we have a combination of three things that are stored within us. This blog gives you a quick overview of how it works and how it might be a choice for your therapy process.
How different times of the year can affect you
As we are now heading in to fall, the days are slowly getting shorter with us having less day light. Have you experienced any change in mood? Perhaps not wanting to go for that morning walk, or perhaps not wanting to meet your friend at that patio to have a barbeque?

Chances are that when you think of trauma, you think of it as something that happens to other people. Or that what you have experienced isn’t nearly as bad as someone who has been raped or lived through war, so it can’t possibly be something you can complain about or have to heal from.
And yet this pandemic has likely been overwhelming for you at times, and has changed how you operate in the world.
What is Big “T” and little ”t” Trauma?
The word trauma often causes people to think that we only deal with the really big stuff, so you might think that what you’re dealing with isn’t really big enough to go to counselling with. And yet nothing could be further from the truth.
In counsellor-speak, we understand that there is what we call big “T” trauma and little “t” trauma, and all of it matters.
