Chronic Trauma

Long-term stress or repeated harm shapes the body, the brain, and the stories we tell ourselves. This is a space to explore the impact of chronic and complex trauma with care that’s steady, relational, and responsive to your nervous system.

Mental Health Support For Chronic Trauma

When overwhelm becomes a way of life, it’s not just in your mind, it settles in your body, your relationships, and your sense of safety. At Modern Holistic Psychiatry, we meet the effects of chronic trauma slowly and collaboratively, with space to understand what your system has had to carry, and why.


Whether your experiences stem from childhood, long-term relational trauma, medical trauma, systemic oppression, or high-functioning survival mode, complex trauma often shows up in ways that are hard to name. You might feel constantly on edge, disconnected from your body, quick to shut down, or unsure why certain relationships or environments feel so hard. None of this makes you broken, it’s your body protecting you. Together, we start to gently unravel what helped you survive and what might be possible now.

Complex Trauma Therapy That Centres Safety and Choice

At Modern Holistic Psychiatry, trauma treatment might include talk therapy, somatic practices, parts work, or support with medication if that’s part of your care. It’s guided by collaboration and consent, always attuned to what your body and nervous system are able to hold. Some of this work may involve learning to notice triggers before they overwhelm you. Some of it may be about reconnecting with parts of yourself that had to go quiet.


This isn’t about retelling your story before you’re ready or pushing toward catharsis. It’s about building safety, internally and in relationship, so your system can begin to soften out of defence and into connection. Healing from complex trauma takes time. But with steady, attuned support, it’s possible to feel more regulated, more connected, and more like yourself.
