Trauma Sensitive Space offers a range of services to explore the possibility of human healing, on the road to recovery in the aftermath of experiencing trauma. These offerings provided by trauma sensitive space, are somatic, or body-based practices, which have documented evidence supporting their ability to not only improve, but successfully treat symptoms of complex trauma and post traumatic stress disorder.

Trauma can be defined as experiencing a distressing event beyond one’s control, which can overwhelm the ability to process emotions. Complex trauma, refers to repeated or ongoing trauma that may include situations such as violence, abuse, neglect, or torture, that due to the repeated nature, can very often take place within the context of interpersonal relationships. Every trauma experience is unique. Some trauma has been experienced in early childhood, before even big enough to process, or remember. But our body remembers. As Bessel Van Der Kolk says “The Body Meets the Score”.

There are a lot of ways that living through trauma can leave an imprint on a human, as it does for many. Flashbacks, nightmares, intrusive thoughts, panic attacks, avoidance, being emotionally numb, negative self image, or self esteem, memory issues, hypervigilence, irritability, addictions, self destructive behaviour, physical symptoms, and many others. Trauma Sensitive Space, aims to build reconnection, community and the possibility of human healing, while offering supported evidence-based treatments for trauma.
