OUR PHILOSOPHY
A CHOICE DRIVEN APPROACH TO PSYCHOLOGY

"Everything can be taken from a [person] but one thing: the last of human freedoms - to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way."

 - Viktor Frankl (Holocaust Survivor, Psychiatrist)

At Trauma Strong see clients with all kinds of challenges. Everyone has a different definition of trauma. Here, your definition is ours. You are the expert in your life, our role is to help you view it through different, evidence-based lenses and in order to help you achieve perspective and consider alternative choices. 

​

We gather practitioners who understand people can be challenged by many of life's events. Acknowledging choice in any situation gives us power, highlights our control; choice is our last freedom. Our practitioners believe that everyone deserves to be well and are passionate about teaching people the strategies to achieve their best mental health and cope after life's challenges.

​

The power to choose comes from education. In your session, you can expect your practitioner to take the time to get to know you, learn about you, and then use guided discovery to work with you so that you can understand more about how life events, your environment, and your genetic makeup are working both for and against you. We seek to give you skills that empower you to consciously choose your path with this knowledge in mind. 

Trauma Strong recognises the country north and south of the Brisbane River, as the home of both the Turrbul and Jagera nations. We pay deep respects to all Elders past and present and future.
