Exploring Trauma and Its Impact

We often hear the word “trauma,” but what does it actually mean? In this episode, we talk with counsellor Ashley Enzie about what trauma is, how it can show up in our thoughts, emotions, and bodies, and why each person’s experience is unique. We cover common signs, the role of triggers, and ways to start building safety and support—whether you’re ready for counselling or just beginning to explore your experience. "Living Fully" is not a substitute or alternative for professional care or treatment. Calgary Counselling Centre and Counselling Alberta provide effective counselling for anyone in Alberta with no wait list and no financial barriers.For help across Canada and the United States, call 211.
