" Managing Traumatic Stress: Tips for Recovering From
Disasters and Other Traumatic Events"
Tuesday's terrorist attacks on the
United States were the type of events we thought could never happen. Like
other types of disasters they were unexpected, sudden and overwhelming. In
some cases, there are no outwardly visible signs of physical injury, but there
is nonetheless a serious emotional toll. It is common for people who have
experienced traumatic situations to have very strong emotional reactions.
Understanding normal responses to these abnormal events can aid you in coping
effectively with your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors, and help you along
the path to recovery.
