Kelowna Trauma Counselling

Trauma is not what happens to you, it is what happens inside you as a result of what happens to you.

—Gabor Maté

While I can respect the different ways you’ve learned how to manage life, I also know you can do life differently. When you come out of survival mode, you build capacity for different choices.

The goal isn’t to never be triggered. It’s to feel more capable when you are.

Do you often feel at the mercy of your reactions?

You know logically how you want to respond, but in the moment, you find yourself reacting differently.

You don’t understand why it’s so hard to respond the way you’ve seen others respond or how you make sense of it logically.

At Anew Path Counselling, we will look at how previous experiences maybe impacting you in the present. Going beyond intellectual insights and experiencing and responding in ways that are aligned with you. Kelowna Trauma Counselling will help you navigate life differently.

What once protected you may now be keeping you stuck.

Trauma is an experience that was too much, too fast, or happened without enough support to help you move through it.

Trauma can impact much more than memories of what happened.

It can influence how someone feels, reacts, connects, trusts, and moves through everyday life.
