Experiencing trauma can leave lasting emotional wounds that affect every part of your life. If you’re living with symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), such as flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety, irritability, or emotional numbness, know that healing is possible. At Stick & Stone Counselling Services in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, we offer specialized PTSD therapy to help individuals process trauma, regain a sense of safety, and rebuild their lives with strength and resilience.
Understanding PTSD and Its Effects
PTSD can result from a wide range of traumatic events, including abuse, accidents, loss, natural disasters, or violence. These experiences can overwhelm the nervous system, making it difficult to feel calm, connected, or secure. Our therapists are trained to work with individuals at their own pace, creating a safe, non-judgmental space to explore difficult memories and emotions.
Restoring a Sense of Safety and Control
Trauma can make the world feel unpredictable and unsafe, leaving you constantly on edge or disconnected. Our PTSD therapy focuses on helping you re-establish trust—in yourself, others, and your environment.
Through grounding techniques, nervous system regulation, and consistent therapeutic support, we help you rebuild a sense of safety. Over time, you’ll begin to feel more in control of your reactions and better equipped to navigate daily life with confidence, stability, and emotional security.
A Personalized Approach to Trauma Recovery
We use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and mindfulness-based interventions to support clients in reducing trauma symptoms. PTSD therapy focuses on helping you:
- Understand and manage triggers
- Reprocess traumatic memories in a safe way
- Reduce anxiety, fear, and hypervigilance
- Strengthen emotional regulation and coping strategies
- Reconnect with a sense of self-worth and hope
These evidence-based methods are grounded in research and tailored to your unique experiences. Therapy helps reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories, challenge fear-based thinking, and strengthen coping skills—supporting long-term healing rather than temporary relief from symptoms.
Reconnecting with Yourself After Trauma
PTSD can leave you feeling disconnected—from your emotions, your body, and even your sense of identity. Therapy offers a path back to yourself. With compassionate guidance, you’ll explore who you are beyond the trauma, rebuild self-trust, and reconnect with your values and strengths. Many clients find that as healing progresses, they experience renewed self-worth, deeper emotional awareness, and moments of joy that once felt out of reach.
