Carol Dignam

Credential/License Type
Registered Psychotherapist (RP), Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC)

I am a seasoned psychotherapist with over 20 years of psychotherapy training and experience. I searched for years for a holistic psychotherapy which facilitated deep physical-psycho-spiritual healing. Eventually I discovered and trained in the trauma psycho-therapies Internal Family Systems (IFS) and “Somatic Experiencing”, because together they facilitate holistic physical-psycho-spiritual healing. They do so by somatically reactivating the body to reveal the physical location of psychic parts harbouring trauma, and to support its cathartic release.

While I work as a registered psychotherapist, a life long interest in healing led me to acquire a graduate degree in medical anthropology, and to train in several healing modalities, which led me write and publish the book “Multidimensional Healing”. This book was designed to support IFS psychotherapy by providing detailed descriptions of the archetypal psychic system parts, and a therapeutic meditation deigned to support experiential access to this system, the healing release of the embodied emotional trauma carried by the psychic parts.

I provide a safe, loving & compassionate container for my clients to embark on a fascinating & liberating inner journey to dissolve the enemy therein – unresolved trauma.

I am registered with the Psychology Today website of registered psychologists and psychotherapists.
