Dealing with Trauma

We’ve experienced a great deal of collective trauma lately as a nation: hurricane Sandy, the Newtown shooting, etc.  I believe crisis counseling is important in helping us get through times like these.  I ran across this article about dealing with trauma and it made me think of these recent incidents.  Stressful times affect everyone differently, and whether the crisis is large or small, we can all benefit from taking steps like these.  Getting perspective, setting goals, and surrounding ourselves with support can help us remember that moments like these are temporary and we will move forward from them.
