What is Trauma-Informed Care?

Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) is an approach to therapy that understands how trauma impacts every part of a person’s life. Instead of focusing only on symptoms, TIC emphasizes safety, empowerment, and choice in the healing process.

Who is Trauma-Informed Care For?

TIC benefits anyone who has experienced:

  • Childhood trauma

  • Abuse or neglect

  • Violence or accidents

  • Medical or workplace trauma

  • Ongoing or intergenerational trauma

How Trauma-Informed Care Works

A trauma-informed therapist focuses on:

  • Safety and trust – creating a secure therapeutic environment

  • Empowerment – helping you feel in control of your care

  • Choice and collaboration – working with you to set the pace and focus of therapy

  • Understanding trauma responses – recognizing how experiences affect emotions, behaviour, and relationships

Benefits of Trauma-Informed Care

  • Reduces risk of re-traumatization

  • Builds a foundation of safety and trust

  • Supports long-term healing and resilience

  • Integrates well with approaches like CBT, DBT, and somatic therapy
