When Trauma Stays With You
Moving forward isn't the same as forgetting
Just because something is in the past, doesn't mean it stops affecting you today. Sometimes the effects are obvious. Other times, they're harder to recognize. You might find yourself reacting strongly to certain situations, having difficulty trusting people or feeling unsettled without fully understanding why.
Darrell Hammond has been helping people work thorugh difficult experiences since 1995. He offers trauma therapy and counselling in Kingston and virtually across Ontario. His approach is gentle, practical and straightforward. You don't have to have all the answers, know where to begin or be ready to talk about everything in your first session.
You can't change what happened, but you can owrk on how it affects you now. Together, you can make sense of the patterns that have developed, find better ways to manage difficult emotions and start feeling less weighed down by experiences you didn't ask for.
