Pax Centre offers an individualised approach to assessing and treating people suffering from the effects of traumatic life experiences. Such experiences can result in various mental health problems including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), complex PTSD and dissociation, depression, other anxiety disorders, chronic adjustment reactions, somatic syndromes and abuse of alcohol or drugs.
Traumatic experiences can include a wide range of life events, such as physical or sexual assault, natural disasters, medical procedures, sudden bereavements or wartime incidents. Whilst most people can, and do, recover from such experiences with the support of family and friends, some will develop significant problems which can have a major effect on their day-to-day lives, often affecting their work and relationships.
Complex trauma differs from single-incident trauma in that it is a multi-faceted syndrome where the traumatic event(s) were relational, repeated, and cumulative; and it usually occurs at developmentally sensitive stages of neurological maturation. For this reason, the social, emotional, behavioural and interpersonal effects of childhood trauma are often pervasive and continue to affect many different areas of people’s adult lives long after the original trauma has passed and/or been debriefed.
We have found that when these situations arise, an early assessment, diagnosis and the initiation of appropriate evidence-based treatment strategies is vital.
In addition to this, we teach proactive, preventative and health expanding strategies to enable the personal growth, improved well-being and performance of our clients. Empowering our clients through the acquisition of new skills and tools is the focus of our philosophy.
