Course Overview
Session 1: Understanding Trauma & Restoring Safety
Get a clear picture of how trauma has been shaping your body and mind, and build the grounding skills that make everything after this possible.
How Trauma Lives in the Body
- Understand why trauma responses — hypervigilance, numbness, flashbacks, shutdown — are protective adaptations rather than personal failings.
- Use the “Trauma Response Map” tool to identify your own patterns of fight, flight, freeze, and fawn.
Finding Your Window of Tolerance
- Use the “Window of Tolerance Tracker” to catch the early warning signs before they escalate.
- Master emotional regulation techniques to address both physiological and psychological reactions, reducing the interference of anxiety.
Building a Grounding Toolkit
- Practise orienting, breathing, and containment techniques you can reach for during a flashback or a panic response.
- Develop a personal safety plan covering sleep, daily routine, support people, and what to do in a crisis.
Session 2: Processing the Past Without Reliving It
Approach difficult memories on your terms, so they loosen their grip instead of pulling you back under.
Understanding Your Triggers
- Identify the sights, sounds, situations, and relationships that reactivate the trauma response, often before you consciously notice.
- Use the “Trigger & Response Log” to tell present-day danger apart from past-event alarm.
Working Through the Memory at Your Pace
- Explore evidence-informed approaches to processing traumatic memory, with pausing and grounding built in throughout.
- Use the “Pacing Agreement” tool so you always know how to slow things down, or stop, without explanation.
Releasing Shame & Self-Blame
- Examine the beliefs trauma leaves behind — I should have known, it was my fault, I’m damaged — and trace where they actually came from.
- Use “Compassionate Reframe Exercises” to build a more accurate, and kinder, account of what happened to you.
Session 3: Rebuilding Trust, Connection & Forward Momentum
Turn hard-won stability into a life that feels like yours again — in your relationships, your boundaries, and your sense of what’s ahead.
Trust & Boundaries After Trauma
- Explore how trauma reshaped your read on who is safe, and rebuild trust at a pace that doesn’t cost you your footing.
- Use the “Boundaries Blueprint” to name what you need from the people close to you, and how to say it out loud.
Reconnecting With Yourself and Others
- Reclaim the parts of life trauma quietly narrowed — the places, people, and plans you’ve been steering around.
- Practise “Graded Reconnection” steps to re-enter avoided situations in increments you can actually manage.
A Plan for What Comes Next
- Create a “Recovery Maintenance Plan” covering setback signs, your supports, and what to do on the harder days.
- Define what healing and meaning look like for you, on your own timeline rather than anyone else’s.
Feeling safe in your own body again
Moving past your trauma
This course is for people carrying the weight of something that happened to them — whether that was one afternoon or a stretch of years. Rather than pushing you to relive the worst of it, the work starts with stability: settling a nervous system that has been braced for impact, and putting real tools in your hands. From there you’ll approach the difficult memories at a pace you control, loosen the shame trauma tends to leave behind, and begin rebuilding trust in yourself and the people around you.
What happened to you doesn’t get the last word. With the right support and a pace that respects your limits, the past can become something you carry — rather than something that carries you.
Hear from our clients…
It’s such a relief to talk to someone who actually gets what it’s like being LGBTQ+. No weird looks, no judgment—just real support. I can finally be myself.
They really understand what it’s like growing up with Asian family expectations. I didn’t have to explain everything from scratch. Therapy helped me find a way to set boundaries without feeling like I was disrespecting my culture.
I honestly couldn’t do therapy if it weren’t for the evening and weekend times. They really work around my schedule, and it never feels rushed. Super knowledgeable and easy to talk to.
I was completely burnt out from work. As a healthcare worker, I’m used to putting others first—but therapy helped me draw the line and get some balance back.
I used to feel like anxiety was running the show. Now, I’ve actually got tools that help. I finally feel like I’m in the driver’s seat.
It’s so ADHD-friendly here. The sessions have structure, but there’s also room to adapt depending on how my brain’s working that day. No judgment—just stuff that actually helps.
For the first time in a long time, I feel safe opening up. It’s clear they really understand trauma, and the way they show up—it just makes healing feel doable.
I was totally running on empty. Therapy helped me reset, figure out where to draw the line, and start feeling like myself again.

Questions About Trauma Therapy
Do I have to talk about the details of what happened?
No. You set the pace, and you can benefit from trauma therapy without recounting your story in detail. The first session focuses entirely on stability — mapping your trauma responses, identifying your window of tolerance, and building a grounding toolkit — before any processing work begins. When you do explore the past, the Pacing Agreement makes it explicit how far and how fast you go, and you can stop at any point.
Do I need a PTSD diagnosis to start?
No. This program supports people with diagnosed PTSD, people processing a single incident like an accident or assault, and people dealing with the long-term effects of experiences they may not even label as “trauma.” If it still shapes how safe you feel, how you sleep, or how you relate to people, it’s worth addressing. Your free 15-minute consultation is a good place to talk through whether this is the right fit.
Is three sessions really enough for trauma?
The three sessions are a structured foundation, not a cap. They give you a working understanding of your trauma responses, practical regulation skills, and a recovery maintenance plan you can keep using. Many people continue with their therapist afterward for deeper processing, and some find the foundation is what they needed. Your therapist will be straightforward with you about what continued work would look like.
What if I get overwhelmed or triggered during a session?
That’s anticipated, and managing it is part of the work. Your therapist tracks your window of tolerance throughout, and you’ll have grounding techniques — orienting, breathing, containment — from Session 1 onward, so you have tools before you need them. Sessions are designed to keep you present rather than pulled back into the memory. Slowing down or stopping is always an option, and it isn’t a setback.
What does trauma therapy cost, and is it covered by insurance?
Sessions are $150 virtual or $160 in person, each 50 minutes. Direct billing is available with more than 12 Canadian insurers, including Canada Life, Manulife, Sun Life, RBC, and Pacific Blue Cross, so in many cases you only pay the remaining portion. Coverage varies by plan — check whether yours covers Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCC) or Registered Social Workers (RSW) and what your annual maximum is.
Is virtual trauma therapy as effective as in person?
For most people, yes. Virtual sessions have the added benefit of letting you do difficult work from a space where you already feel safe, and they remove travel on days when leaving the house feels like too much. Some people prefer being in the room with their therapist for the grounding it provides. Both formats follow the same structure, and you can switch between them.
