TRAUMA THERAPY IN PETERBOROUGH, ONTARIO & VIRTUALLY ACROSS NORTH AMERICA
You’ve moved on. Your brain apparently didn’t get the memo.
You might not think, “I have trauma.” You might just know you're tired of feeling on edge, overthinking everything, shutting down, or wondering why certain things still affect you.
You don’t need to have it all figured out before you come in. Bring us the messy version. We’ll start there.
You don't have to keep doing this.
You’re tired of reacting this way. You’re tired of overthinking, shutting down, staying on edge, or feeling like certain things hit you harder than they should.
You may be navigating:
A difficult or traumatic experience that still feels close
Feeling on edge, overwhelmed, or constantly on guard
Anxiety, panic, or a nervous system that won't seem to settle
Feeling disconnected, numb, or unlike yourself
Shame, guilt, or blaming yourself for what happened
Difficulty trusting people or feeling safe in relationships
Avoiding certain people, places, conversations, or situations
Big emotional reactions that feel difficult to control
A complicated relationship with your body, boundaries, or sense of self
Or maybe you know something isn't feeling right, even if you can't quite put your finger on why.
THERAPY FOR TRAUMA
How Fairapy can support you
-
Maybe you know exactly what happened. Maybe you’ve never really called it trauma. Either way, you know some things still get to you.
You might be constantly on edge, overthinking everything, shutting down, struggling to trust people, or reacting to things that seem small but somehow hit really hard.
We’ll help you understand why you respond the way you do, work through what’s still following you, and figure out what you actually need now.
And you’re in control of the pace. You don’t have to tell us everything on day one. You don’t even need to know where to start.

EMDR is one of the approaches we use when something from your past is still taking up way too much space in your present.
It can help you work through experiences that feel stuck — without needing to spend every session talking about the same thing over and over.
We’ll figure out if EMDR makes sense for you, when you’re ready for it, and what approach feels right for where you’re at.

Anxiety isn’t always lying awake worrying about everything.
Sometimes it’s the overthinking. The constant checking. The need for reassurance. The short fuse. The shutdown. The feeling that you’re always waiting for something to go wrong.
We’ll help you understand what’s actually happening instead of just telling you to “manage your anxiety.” You’ll learn how to recognize your patterns, handle the big feelings, and stop feeling like your emotions are running the show.

Maybe somewhere along the way, you stopped trusting yourself.
You second-guess everything. You compare yourself to everyone. You know what everyone else wants from you — but you’re not even sure what you want anymore.
Therapy can help you get back to that.
We’ll work on the self-doubt, the people-pleasing, the comparison, and all the stories you’ve picked up about who you’re supposed to be — so you can start trusting yourself again.
You don't have to "get over it."
Sometimes you know you’re safe now. You know the relationship is over. You know it happened years ago. You know you should be okay.
So why are you still on edge? Still overthinking? Still shutting down? Still reacting to things you wish didn’t affect you so much?
That’s the thing about trauma - your life can move forward while part of you is still stuck trying to make sense of what happened.
You don’t need to come in knowing exactly what you need. You don’t need to have the right words. And you definitely don’t need to unpack your entire life in one session.
Bring us what you’ve got. We’ll start there.
Healing isn’t about pretending it didn’t happen. It’s about not letting it run your life anymore.
