The American Counseling Association recommends 5
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.
