During this time, I gained diverse experience. Since 2019, I have focused more on independent nursing care, providing consultations to patients and their loved ones.

Aita Müürsepp

Experience Advisor

Aita Müürsepp

Experience Advisor

Throughout my life, I have been curious about topics related to managing emotions and being human. Ironically, to understand myself and find meaning in life, I had to lose it first. I was lost, had lost trust, and felt empty. I found the strength to give up alcohol, discovered qualities within myself to support and develop through study, and learned to apply them. I also found creativity, trust, and a purpose to exist—for myself and for others.

I have personal experience with positive recovery and understand its different stages and the emotions involved in withdrawal. I know what it feels like to be trapped by addiction, accompanied by constant shame and guilt. Ongoing education and training help me work creatively and flexibly as an addiction counsellor and grow as a person.

As an addiction counsellor, I have had diverse opportunities: working as a support person at a harm reduction centre for drug users, as a counsellor in a detox clinic, and leading support groups in prison. These roles have given me valuable experience and insight into addiction disorders. My strengths include empathy and the ability to build and maintain trustworthy contact.

In my work, I use the 12-step approach, motivational interviewing, and cognitive-behavioural therapy methods.

I work in Estonian

I have been through the journey of alcohol and drug addiction, experiencing everything from imprisonment to living on the streets.

Today, I understand how to use my experience of overcoming addiction and am ready to help those in need.
