Trauma Recovery

Patrice and Jim are experienced in facilitating critical incident stress debriefing with individuals and groups whom have experienced trauma. The purpose of post trauma counselling is to assist each individaul to return to a healthy level of functioning. This may include relaxation training and containment work to reduce anxiety, intrusive thoughts, re-experiencing the event, flash backs, hyper arouseal, and hyper vigilance. By explaining how our mind, body, and emotions work together, individuals understand their responses and then learn how to address them to facilitate recovery.
