Why is it so hard to move on?
Working through past trauma can be a tough journey. Whether you’re dealing with intergenerational trauma, grief, or childhood trauma, your past experiences can weigh on you, making you feel “stuck” and unable to progress in your life.
At My Narrative Therapy, we provide trauma therapy to help you understand and change the patterns and behaviours that are keeping you from living a life you love.

Approaches Used In Trauma Therapy
We treat each client differently, as each person’s trauma and experiences are different from the next. We use a blend of techniques with clients and adjust the tools based on results as the sessions progress. Here are some common techniques that we use:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a highly effective therapeutic modality for treating trauma. It helps you address any negative thought patterns you may have and challenges them. We also use CBT to help teach you coping skills as well as relaxation techniques to practice anytime you feel symptoms of trauma overcoming you.
Narrative Therapy
We use narrative therapy to reshape your personal stories to create more empowering perspectives. We do this by exploring your trauma and identifying patterns that may be influencing your life. This helps you separate your trauma from yourself. By rewriting your narrative, we help you take charge of your own stories, enabling you to reclaim control and find a new sense of purpose.
Mindfulness
This technique involves therapists practicing deep breathing and grounding exercises to reduce physical symptoms such as a racing heart, muscle tension, and panic attacks.

Frequently Asked Questions About Trauma
What is trauma therapy?
Trauma therapy is a type of mental health treatment designed to help individuals process and recover from traumatic experiences. During trauma therapy sessions, you have a safe space for healing from painful experiences that constantly impact your life. Whether it’s the result of a sudden accident, loss of a loved one, physical or emotional abuse, or other distressing events, trauma can leave a weight on you that is tough to lift off. These burdens from traumatic events can show up in different ways, such as panic attacks, irritability, or symptoms of PTSD. Trauma therapy offers a compassionate, non-judgemental space to help you process your pain without fear. Whether your trauma is recent or something you’ve been carrying for years, its effects can still shape how you live, connect with others, and feel safe in your own body.
Who is trauma therapy for?
Trauma therapy is suitable for anyone affected by trauma, including intergenerational trauma, childhood trauma, abuse, loss, accidents, or other distressing life events. It is helpful to individuals dealing with symptoms such as anxiety, depression, irritability, flashbacks, or difficulty forming relationships with family members or friends.
Trauma therapy can also help those who may not identify their experiences as traumatic but still feel overwhelmed or stuck in their life. Ultimately, it provides a supportive space for healing and processing difficult emotions.
What can I expect in a trauma therapy session?
Sessions typically focus on processing trauma, managing triggers, and building coping skills. Your therapist will always ensure that you are in a safe, non-judgemental, and compassionate environment for every trauma therapy session. Whether you are engaged in childhood trauma therapy, intergenerational trauma therapy, or any other type of trauma therapy, we complete a thorough assessment on your first visit to capture a holistic understanding of your life and past experiences.
Together, we’ll discuss your overall goals and get a better understanding of what you’re hoping to achieve from your trauma therapy sessions, whether that’s improving relationships, managing emotions better, or developing useful coping strategies.
We’ll use therapeutic techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, and mindfulness to help process your pain, find coping tools, and reduce the intensity of your overwhelming feelings over time. As sessions progress, you’ll begin to manage your symptoms better and build emotional resilience, taking back control of your life.
Can trauma therapy help with physical symptoms?
Yes, trauma therapy can address physical symptoms related to trauma, such as anxiety, headaches, and chronic pain. Your therapist will work with you to understand how your emotional trauma is displayed physically and then unpack how best to treat these symptoms. We use various therapeutic techniques to improve your physical and emotional well-being.
