Our Counselling in Vancouver Covers

PTSD

When we have unresolved trauma in our system we have a tendency to under-react to what is abnormal (rage, abuse, neglect) and over-react to what is normal (misunderstandings, being late, emotions, not being heard).

Dissociation

 Dissociation is a strategy learned through ongoing childhood abuse and neglect that can persist into adulthood and will affect folks as if danger is still present, continuing to shut off parts of your experience and interrupt your ability to be present in your life.

Anxiety

Anxiety can affect many areas of our lives.

Social life, relationships, work life and study, and decision-making to name a few.

Childhood Trauma

 Betrayals in family relationships can lead to beliefs that;

Relationships are unsafe, you do not matter, tendency to blame yourself and difficulty managing emotions.

Self-esteem

Many of our clients have struggled with a harsh critic or perfectionist part that rules their life and causes them to feel unworthy, or there is something wrong with them.


Infidelity

The pain of infidelity can feel like your world has been turned upside down. It is possible to recover and move on to create healthy relationships.

Take time to process what has happened.

Emotional dysregulation

This can include being overwhelmed by emotions, or feeling numb and cut off from your emotions.

You may have challenges around anger or vulnerable feelings such as hurt or sadness.

ADHD

Many of our counsellors have experience and interest in working with folks that live with various developmental conditions such as ADHD and Autism.

Attachment Struggles

When we come into relationships having learned either to avoid love and intimacy or loose our connection to our experience to maintian the relationship are examples of attachment difficulties.

Narcisisstic Abuse

Our therapists have experience with narcissism and how this affects the dynamics of relationships. Simply Narcissism is seeing oneself as special as a way of protecting against shame and guilt.

Relational Reactivity

We provide couples counselling and workshops that address reducing reactivity in relationships.

Commiunication

If you want to improve your communication it is often about what gets in the way of good communication.   Learn about how to develop trust and safety in communication.
