As trauma bonding has become a trendy word and often misused. we are sharing what form of emotional bonding is healthy over what is not. Trauma bonding increases our heightened senses and is the roadblock to full healing and growth.

As we continue to progress, we have encountered a false narrative regarding our services.

We consistently share knowledge through the expertise & lived experiences of individuals who have experienced toxic environments.

However, when you are not one of those individuals, but shared you are toxic,it diminishes the work you do on a daily basis.

Toxic spaces are characterized by the following:

1. High employee turnover
2. Consistent lack of transparency
3. Consistent micromanagement
4. Limited opportunities for professional growth
5. Constant discouragement of personal development
6. Lack of training expansion
7. Resistance to constructive feedback
8. Unresolved conflicts
9. Neglect of recognition and feedback
10. Unethical practices
11. Absence of opportunities for constructive feedback
12. Disengaged leadership
13. Lack of accountability
14. Ambiguity regarding values

We often assert that “we are not for everyone, but we are something for someone.”

When we attribute our reactions to others, it is not about you. It is about the circumstances that led them to conceal their own truth, causing them to resort to blaming others. This is a prime example of toxicity.

We maintain transparency , apologize when warranted without prejudice.

Today is the 7th annual in Canada and the 45 years marking of PTSD as a disorder under DSM. We believe that a disorder is one thing, in therapy we deal with the injury and therefore we call it Post Traumatic Stress Injury. Many services will define what PTSD is and many will overuse “PTSD” for a situation they did not like. Yet, in reality PTSD is no laughing matter.it is very real and changes lives in ways it can impact their work life, home life, social life, and financial well being. It also makes an impact on families as well. So today we are sharing how addiction often follows and attaches to PTSD, and we can see the impact. Today is beyond the definition. It is to recognize that PTSD is here to stay and recovery isn’t far away.
We continue to share numbers every Friday for anyone out there to know:

Therapy can be very daunting. Talking, processing our trauma with a complete stranger. It would unnerve anyone. Yet, if we don’t give ourselves space to walk through it, we are left with unhealed reactions. Sometimes the uneasy parts of recovery is the only way through healing.
