Trauma and PTSD Counselling
in Langley, BC

Trauma and PTSD counselling with Dr. Michael Dadson at Gentle Currents Therapy in Langley, BC begins with understanding your experiences, current needs and what feels manageable to explore.

Dr. Michael Dadson (Mike Dadson) states, “Symptoms of trauma usually start within three months of a traumatic incident. It has been reported, in rare cases, that symptoms of PTSD may only occur after a number of years.

Exposure to new stress may increase the symptoms, as can reminders of the traumatic incident. Therapists who address Post Traumatic Stress Disorder generally use one, or a combination of trauma therapies during treatment.
