Instead of relying only on surface-level strategies, our therapists address the core beliefs most often linked with trauma. Patterns like “I Am At Risk,” “I Am Permanently Damaged,” or “I Am Betrayed” aren’t just passing thoughts — they’re identity-level rules wired into your emotional response system. These beliefs fuel cycles of hypervigilance, fear, and disconnection that keep trauma responses alive. Explore the Pattern Library to see how these beliefs operate — and how our therapists help recondition them for lasting change.


❓ How is ShiftGrit’s trauma therapy different from traditional counselling?

Unlike approaches that mainly focus on symptom management, our Calgary trauma therapists target the identity-level Core Beliefs behind trauma responses — patterns like “I Am Not Safe” or “I Am Permanently Damaged.” By working at the root, change becomes more consistent and less dependent on coping alone.

❓ What Core Beliefs are most often linked with trauma?

In our Pattern Library, trauma-related patterns frequently connect to beliefs such as “I Am Not Safe,” “I Am Betrayed,” or “I Am Powerless.” These aren’t just passing thoughts — they are deeply wired rules that keep the nervous system in a state of fear and hypervigilance.

❓ Can therapy really shift feelings of fear or hypervigilance?

Yes. Trauma isn’t a permanent flaw — it’s a patterned loop between beliefs, emotions, and behaviours. Through our structured method, we guide clients in reconditioning these loops so the nervous system no longer reacts as if danger is constant.

❓ Who benefits most from trauma pattern therapy?

We often work with adults who appear “fine” on the outside but live with ongoing fear, disconnection, or startle responses inside. If your past experiences still feel present in your body and mind, working with a trauma pattern therapist can help you rewire those responses at the source.
