What is Therapy for Trauma?
Generally, trauma is a psychological condition or an emotional state in response to anything stressful, disturbing, or threatening to a person. Trauma can be due to anything. It can be due to a car accident, losing a loved one, violence, illness, or going through a separation/divorce. People can get into this state after other tragedies like torture, physical violence, or sexual assault.
There are three types of trauma:
01
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Developed after experiencing a frightening or dangerous event, people typically recover from initial symptoms but serious conditions can seek help from a psychotherapist. People who suffer from PTSD have uncomfortable thoughts, flashbacks, anxiety, or nightmares.
02
Complex Trauma
This type of trauma is likely to be developed by a person when they go through something repetitively. It can be due to prolonged abuse or threats, such as domestic abuse in a relationship.
03
Developmental Trauma Disorder
This type of trauma forms in children, especially in the first three years of life. It can be a result of neglect, abuse, or abandonment. Children who suffer from this disorder typically have attachment issues as they grow up.

Trauma Therapy at our Clinic in Burlington
At Pillars of Wellness, effects of trauma can be treated with the help of therapy. Psychologists and therapists know that each client is different, and so therapy sessions are planned according to each one’s unique needs. As there are different types of traumas, the therapies are also different in nature. Therapists adopt different ways to confront and heal the sufferer.
The most common of all trauma therapies are:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Helps the sufferer to know more about their thoughts or cognitions related to their trauma. It is just like educating them and giving them the strength to cope up with their emotions.
Exposure therapy
Another therapy that is used to expose the source of a person’s anxiety just to help them and not to cause any problem.
Talk Therapy
Also known as psychodynamic psychotherapy is a verbal communication. It helps to relieve the sufferer from the ongoing emotional pain and to help them gather their strength to cope.

I was very impressed by their customer service and professionalism
I recently used Pillars of Wellness services for my injuries. I was very impressed by their customer service and professionalism. The first time I came to do my assessment, the owner, the physiotherapist and the chiropractor sat with me to help me figure out the best way to feel better and faster. I spent 6 weeks with on-going treatment using different modalities. The end result was no more pain and I was able to move again!! Thank you so much for your help. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone.

I’m feeling very supported during my recovery….
On the advice of a friend, I reached out and booked a series of appointments with their occupational therapist, Lori; physiotherapist, Abida; and their naturopath, Dr. Galantai to help with recovering from a concussion. It has been an excellent experience! They are all incredible practitioners.
This is the first time I’ve ever experienced a longer term injury and their genuine, individualized care has really lessened my stress. I’m feeling very supported during my recovery and highly recommend their clinic. I credit my continual improvement to the holistic way I’m getting treatment for my symptoms and am very grateful.
I went to different clinics I finally found one worth going to.
Friendly, caring and professionals like nothing I have seen around Aldershot//Burlington. Attentive to the needs of their patients. They take the time to listen. Beautiful and well designed clinic that is extremely well maintained. I have had two car accidents in the last year and I went to different clinics I finally found one worth going to.
