Trauma is the psychological response to experiences that feel overwhelming, frightening or unsafe. Trauma-based concerns can include a range of emotional, physical, cognitive and behavioural symptoms that arise after experiencing one or more traumatic event(s). People who have experienced trauma(s) might notice symptoms
such as anxiety, feeling irritable or having angry outbursts, having difficulty trusting others, and / or experiencing problems with sleep. These reactions are not signs of weakness – they are the nervous system’s attempt to protect you and keep you safe
after an aversive experience.
Trained and experienced practitioners at the Firestone CBT Clinic move at your pace
and prioritize safety and collaboration while offering empirically supported treatments for
trauma. Empirically supported treatments are interventions that have been studied and
shown to be effective to process traumatic experiences safely, reduce distressing
symptoms, and improve quality of life.
