​How Trauma Affects Mental Health: Evidence-Based Trauma Treatment in Calgary​

When we encounter a traumatic experience, it causes like a fracture in our nervous system which prevents us from growing emotionally and psychologically the way we supposed. This means that we will encounter a wide range of triggers as when we experience distressing events later, we would tend to emotionally respond in the same way we did to the first adverse event. Even when the traumatic experience had occurred during childhood, or a long time ago, this person would continue to be emotionally “trapped” and consistency triggered until healing occurs. This explains why some people struggle to move beyond anxiety, anger or other conditioned states of mind when facing new overwhelming situations. 
At Soul-Alliance Psychological Services in Calgary, we use evidence-based trauma therapy treatments such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR), Internal Family System (IFS), and Ego-State (Inner -child work) to help the healing the past traumas that causes the anxiety, anger and other mental health conditions.
