When the past still affects the present
You might be:
Feeling anxious, overwhelmed or constantly on edge
Finding it hard to feel safe or settled
Struggling with relationships or boundaries
Being very hard on yourself
Feeling disconnected from your emotions
Avoiding things that remind you of difficult experiences
Feeling stuck in patterns you don't understand
You don't have to know exactly what's wrong before asking for support.
Trauma-informed therapy
Therapy can give you space to understand what you're experiencing and explore what may be contributing to it.
Depending on your needs, therapy may focus on:
Trauma & difficult experiences
Understanding how past experiences may still affect you today.
Anxiety & overwhelm
Exploring stress, strong emotions and feeling constantly on edge.
Relationships & boundaries
Working through relationship difficulties, communication and boundaries.
Self-worth
Exploring self-criticism, shame and self-doubt.
EMDR therapy
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychological approach that can be used when working with trauma and other difficult experiences.
It involves a structured process supported by a psychologist.
EMDR is not suitable for everyone. An assessment is completed first to determine whether it may be an appropriate approach for you.
EMDR sessions are generally 60–90 minutes.
Online therapy, wherever you are
No need to travel to a clinic.
Calm Sanctuary offers secure online psychology appointments for adults across Australia.
You can attend your appointment from a private space that feels comfortable for you.

Taking The First Step
