Understanding Trauma

Trauma occurs when an experience overwhelms your ability to cope, leading to lasting changes in how your brain processes stress and safety. PTSD is a mental health disorder that may develop following trauma when symptoms persist and significantly affect a person’s daily life. While trauma and PTSD are closely related, experiencing trauma does not necessarily mean someone will develop PTSD.

Common symptoms of trauma include:

Why Trauma Treatment Needs a Different Approach

Trauma affects both emotional and physiological systems in the brain. It is not just about memories. It changes how your nervous system responds to stress, safety, and relationships.

Standard talk therapy alone may not fully address these deeper neural patterns. Effective treatment focuses on regulating the nervous system, improving emotional processing, and restoring a sense of safety.

Deep TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation)

Deep TMS is a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain regions involved in pain processing.

• Non-invasive, with no medication required

• Delivered under psychiatrist-led care, with your treatment plan shaped by assessment

• Whether TMS is appropriate, and what outcomes may look like, is determined individually and may differ by diagnosis

• Non medication approach

• Minimal side effects
