Therapy for Trauma & Abuse

Trauma is the emotional and psychological response to distressing or life-threatening events. Abuse (whether physical, emotional, sexual or psychological) can cause trauma, leading to deep and lasting wounds that affect your self-esteem, relationships and daily life.

Many people with trauma experience:

• Flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive thoughts
• Anxiety, panic attacks, or hypervigilance
• Feelings of shame, guilt, or worthlessness
• Emotional numbness or detachment
• Difficulty trusting others or forming relationships
• Low self-esteem and self-doubt

You don’t have to navigate these challenges alone.

Therapy can help you regain control, rebuild confidence, and move forward with a sense of safety and self-empowerment.

When to Seek Help

There’s no right or wrong time to seek help for trauma or abuse, but there are certain signs that you should start asking for support:

• You experience flashbacks, nightmares or intrusive thoughts that disrupt your daily life.
• You feel anxious, on edge or easily overwhelmed in situations that remind you of past experiences.
• You struggle with trust and relationships due to past trauma.
• You feel numb, disconnected or emotionally detached from yourself or others.
• You experience persistent feelings of guilt, shame or worthlessness.
• You use avoidance, unhealthy coping strategies or self-destructive behaviours to manage distress.
• Your trauma is affecting your ability to work or study.

If past experiences are holding you back and affecting your wellbeing, therapy can help you process what happened in a safe, supportive space and take a step toward healing.
