Transcript:As the war has started we are faced with a:
As the war has started we are faced with a situation that either effects us directly or vicariously. Crisis psychologists are often asked, “what is the usual reaction to news of crisis?”. The answer is that reactions vary and are often even surprising to one encountering the news. During times of crisis, our brains shift to a different, often fear-based, mode and we may react differently than we expect ourselves to. We are also likely to shift from own state to another, for example, we can fluctuate between being “immune” to the news to having symptoms of anxiety. Typical reactions during crisis are a need to withdraw to conserve our energies at the same time as a need to reach out to others to get understanding for our feelings. Many experience more difficulty concentrating on tasks and sleeping as well as physical stress symptoms. During this difficult time, it is advisable to take time to ground yourself and to take better care of eating, sleeping and taking breaks. Social support can help us understand our reactions, but it is okay to take time for yourself as well. It may be helpful to tell yourself that emotional reactions come and go and that we can bear them for a moment and also let them go. If you feel like you are alone in this situation, reach out to friends, colleagues or seek support from Occupational Health Services. 24.2.2022 1 Facing News and Experiences of War in the Ukraine
