The American Counseling Association recommends Five Ways to help with coping AFTER a crisis situation:
- Recognize your own feelings about the situation and talk to others about your fears. Know that these feelings are a normal response to an abnormal situation.
- Be willing to listen to family and friends who have been affected and encourage them to seek counseling if necessary.
- Be patient with people; fuses are short when dealing with crises and others may be feeling as much stress as you.
- Recognize normal crises reactions, such as sleep disturbances and nightmares, withdrawal, reverting to childhood behaviors, and trouble focusing on work or school.
- Take time with your children, spouse, life partner, friends, and co-workers to do something you enjoy.
