• A sensation of emotional numbness
• Experiencing 'hypervigilance' or extreme alertness
• Blaming yourself for what happened to you
• Finding it hard to concentrate
• Experiencing emotions that you went through during the trauma
• Avoiding places that remind you of a traumatic event
• Self-harming or destructive behaviour
• Repetitive thoughts about how you could have changed or avoided the traumatic event
