Trauma Therapists in Dubai

Triggered by a terrifying event that you may have witnessed or experienced, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition caused by a reaction to extreme stressors. It is normal to experience temporary difficulty adjusting and coping after a traumatic event. Your body’s “fight-or-flight” reaction helps it defend against danger or to avoid it. The fear that triggers these split-second changes protects us, and we naturally recover from these initial symptoms.

Below is a brief breakdown of symptoms associated with PTSD:

• Experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event (e.g., any form of abuse, accident, crime, etc.)
• Unwanted memories of the event
• Dreams about the event
• Flashbacks of the event
• Struggling to cope when there are reminders of the event
• Avoiding anything related to the event
• Difficulty recalling the details or parts of the event
• Self-blame or guilt about the event
• Struggling to connect with people since the event

Along with this, people that have PTSD often find it difficult to concentrate and develop problems with sleep, all of which become persistent, severe and interfere with your day-to-day functioning.
