Have symptoms of trauma and PTSD? Contacting a hotline in Estonia can help

It is never easy to deal with traumatic experiences and resulting PTSD symptoms. There are 3 in Estonia that can help you begin your healing journey. Although each person’s experience of trauma and PTSD is unique, there are some common symptoms which include:

• 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

These feelings are a completely normal response to traumatic experiences. Trauma leaves an imprint on our lives that can profoundly affect our emotional wellbeing.
