Shame is a soul-eating emotion. --C. G. Jung.
Crisis Hotlines
The first step in a crisis is to ask for help. Every city and county in the U.S. has crisis intervention hotlines and staff in place to assist you.
After a crisis you may experience some post-traumatic stress, disorientation, shakiness, and anger and have trouble focusing and sleeping. These are normal responses to an abnormal situation. They may linger for a while. • Allow your self some time to decompress. Don't rush the recovery process. • Go easy on yourself, and your loved ones. • Talk to family, friends or a therapist to help you process what has happened.
