Personality Disorders Therapists in Vancouver, BC
Trauma can leave you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected. Many people I work with feel flooded by emotions like guilt, shame, or fear — or sometimes struggle to feel anything at all, feeling detached from themselves and those around them. Traumatic memories don’t always stay in the past. Triggers can bring back emotions, images, and beliefs so vividly that it feels like the event is happening all over again, leaving you with a persistent sense of danger or distrust.

Anxiety. Depression. Panic. Rage. Heartbreak. They make life feel chaotic, frightening, and lonely. Intense emotions can take over our whole bodies. We might lunge into anger or spiral into self-doubt and not know how to get ourselves out. But it doesn't have to be that way. Here's how life could feel instead: like you have easy access to your kind, calm and rational self; you have close, stable relationships, and all the motivation you need to create the life you want.

Peace be on you dear readers. I really congratulate you for taking the first step: looking for a counsellor. Seeking counselling is a sign of strength. It means that you want to see changes in your life. You may be dealing with depression, anxiety, panic attack, and or relationship issues or you may need to talk to someone who will not judge you. I believe everyone has ability to solve their own problems, however, sometimes overwhelming situation makes us stuck in one point and hinder us to go forward.

I believe learning to get what you need from others and from life is a process that starts with ourselves.
