Nicole Brown Faulker is registered psychotherapist, entrepreneur and the founder of federal government incorporated, Trauma Embodiment Association. Nicole takes her work out in the field and helps patients to deal with trauma and how it manifests in their lives.


Her journey started when she was young and she was forced to be hyper vigilant and had to learn how to cope and heal when she experience trauma. 

Certain cultural norms discourage young people, like those in her Caribbean community, to not voice their distress, since it seen as “airing your dirty laundry”. This is frowned upon. But as Nicole got older she realized that learning more about the human mind and body would be a solution for her.


She wants us all to understand the the foundation of what is trauma? It is the body’s response to helplessness. Whether through abuse or sometimes from lack of resources, people feel paralyzed or stuck in life without reprieve. Nicole says, some people seek out counselling or therapy, when they are ready and she wants to de-stigmatize psychotherapy and all the negative connotations people have about it. 


Nicole works traditionally in her clinical practice where she provides therapy sessions, but also works non-traditionally in local communities, to service people who normally would not have access to therapy and mental health resources. 


There are different ways people show signs that they need to see a therapist through their psychological and behavioural changes. These changes are triggered by major life events like break ups both platonic and romantic, grief, childhood trauma, ptsd (post traumatic stress disorder) from witnessing violence, or accidence, abuse, bereavement etc.  Life events can cause people to have anxiety, fear, anger, be irritable, have depression, even to isolate themselves. 


Nicole wants people to not isolate themselves in shame or fear but instead, feel more empowered by getting the support they need to face those past events, learn how to heal, grieve and eventually move forward, no longer feeling paralyzed by negative emotions. 

She wants everyone to know it is okay to feel vulnerable and it takes courage and humility to ask for help under these circumstances. 


Therapy is a better solution than simply confiding in friends and family, who maybe inept with helping loved ones cope with their psychological and behaviour issues. Even though, people feel more comfortable confiding in friends and family, sometimes we all need an unbiased person, who is clinically trained with various methods to guide us in reflecting, listening to our voice, live in those moments no matter how difficult, to cast down those burdens that are hinder us from moving forward to enjoy our present life.
