I will summarize what was written in the first article. I will add two important crisis assistance techniques: debriefing and resource interview. Goals of crisis assistance: To start talking, to describe the state Test a new reality New identity: survivor or alive (could think that he died) Stop panic, disorganization. A clear plan of action (what will happen next) Orientation towards cooperation with others and mutual assistance. Contact channels (what you see, hear, smell), give something in relief. Establish a contact channel over time: what was 5 minutes ago, what was 20 minutes it was ago. What will you do in an hour, etc. Contact with needs: what you wanted to do before the incident, what you want now! The most important techniques in a crisis: debriefing (conducted separately) You can read about regular debriefing here, it is necessary for the prevention of PTSD. https://www.b17.ru/article/328539/?prt=resource interview (instead of or after a debriefing). When you told me, there were experiences. Can you place them to your left or right? Negative experiences. And on the other side there will be free space: what helped you survive, how you helped. If the return is to the negative, then it’s on the left. And what did you do, how did you survive (crying, thinking, getting angry, calling an ambulance / you know how to ask for and accept help /) Tactile : I came home and started hugging the children, which means I survived! let's list everything you've done on your fingers. If everything is over, it is important to discuss with the person where he will go now, someone will be able to accompany him. What kind of place is this (you can check how safe it is based on various parameters). I hope that in this difficult, ambiguous time you will remain as stable, calm, and reasonable as possible in order to help yourself and others. I am often asked about my attitude to what is happening. I say that I empathize with EVERYONE who has suffered in one way or another. It is a pity that people have not recovered and will continue to face the consequences of the numerous grief that has happened over the past 2 years for a long time. And now there is a new problem. The psyche will help, but for many, various traumatic stories have worsened and will worsen. I am in my place of neutrality. Otherwise I won't be able to work. Nearby if you need help.
