TRAUMA ( PTSD) COUNSELLING
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. It is not uncommon for symptoms to be present for a short period, then disappear, only to return again.”
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.
Dr. Michael Dadson has conducted extensive Trauma, PTSD and dissociation research during his tenure as the Executive Director for the Veteran’s Transition Network.

Neurofeedback is a non-invasive therapeutic, intervention treatment method that assists you to consciously control your brain wave patterns.

The result of neurofeedback treatment can be greater relaxation, a sense of ease and emotional resilience. Among other neurological and mental health issues, Neurofeedback has been used in the treatment of ADHD, trauma and PTSD recovery, anxiety, depression, epilepsy, ASD, insomnia and drug addiction (Larson, S 2006).
Low energy neurofeedback system (LENS) is safe and effective neurofeedback therapy. In contrast to traditional neurofeedback (requiring your involvement in retraining your brain), the LENS software does all the work to remove blockages that may be causing your symptoms.
A neurofeedback session will take between 45 minutes to 60 minutes.
The Neurofeedback process is based on the needs and goals of individual clients.
Your therapist or counsellor will discuss the number of recommended sessions with you based on your needs and treatment goals.
