921 Spiritual Counseling Demonstration [Dr. Lin Bo/Originally published in Health World Electronic News] Disaster psychological sequelae, don't need to donate money, you can help... Over the past few days, everyone has been paying attention to the most severely affected areas, but unexpectedly, psychological trauma has also begun to hit everyone in non-disaster areas along with TV, radio, newspapers, and the Internet. ## Disaster Psychological Sequelae Four warning signs appear, seek medical attention immediately: Recently, I have been panicking about earthquakes due to the continuous occurrence of aftershocks, but I can still live, eat and work normally.

I am so afraid that I feel as if my spirits are all day long, I lose my judgment, I don’t run away from danger, and I don’t look at cars when I cross the road. Recently, I have occasional nervous tension and insomnia, and my body is in a state of alert. I was so nervous that I couldn't sleep every day, I couldn't eat, and my physical strength continued to decline. Seek help from a psychiatrist as soon as possible, he will give you some appropriate amount of medicine for a short period of time, but because everyone’s constitution is different, if you feel excessive drowsiness after taking medicine, you can return to see a doctor immediately, and the doctor will make some adjustments, and it will be the most suitable for you dose, to fall asleep without losing escape alertness.

Note: The risk of addiction is not high if sleeping pills are used for no more than two weeks and under the guidance of a careful doctor. Soon after the earthquake, I would occasionally think of those terrible pictures and feel sad, but when I didn’t see them, I felt better, my appetite was poor but I still ate, and I couldn’t sleep for only one or two nights. Immediately seek medical advice: People who have nightmares and painful recalls of those horrible scenes every day, lingering even without turning on the TV, unable to do anything, seriously affecting daily life. You need to seek help from a psychiatrist to vent the panic in your heart, and the symptoms will naturally alleviate. Of course, this will take a little time, and you can speak a little bit at a time, and proceed slowly.

It is very sad to think of those who died in the earthquake, but it does not hinder life and work. Seek medical attention immediately: There are family members who died in the earthquake and have a strong sense of self-blame and guilt, and even have thoughts of suicide. Call your best friend as soon as possible and ask him to accompany you to the psychiatric emergency room, because at any time you may behave out of your control.please remember!Even if your family members were killed in the earthquake, they are in the spirit of heaven, and they don’t want you to do this. According to the mandatory hospitalization regulations in the Mental Health Law, the hospitals must immediately give priority to those who have strong suicidal thoughts. If you strongly insist on not going mental Doctor, you can at least go to see another doctor, or at least ask a best friend to accompany you through this dangerous time, and then be recommended by your friend to see a doctor who has a good reputation and is willing to spend time listening to patients. Every teaching hospital has a 24-hour psychiatrist on duty in the emergency room please remember, If your friends or family members are afraid and do not meet the above conditions to seek medical treatment immediately, even if you are a non-professional, your care and acceptance are very effective for them, but you must have the following attitude: 1. Silent company (Pres**e) is the most important medicine for the fearful, 2. A glass of warm water (Warm ) When a psychotherapist narrates pain in the face of a case, he once said 3. A facial tissue (Care) 4. Big ears and little mouth (Listening) 5. Stop and stop (Respect) Don't force him to speak, let him stop there if he doesn't want to speak, a suffering person cannot bear others' pushing (pushing) him. The following demonstration is for reference: Frightened person: I'm scared, I don't want to go back, the house fell down, many people died... Companion: (sitting next to him) It’s okay, it’s safe here, I’m here to accompany you... Frightened person: It’s really scary. I drove past Xinzhuang yesterday, and I saw everything piled up in a pile. I don’t want to die like this. When I come back, it’s shaking everywhere. I don’t know where to escape… Accompanying person: (quietly) It's okay, you speak slowly, I'm here to listen to you... Frightened person: It's terrible. I haven't slept for three days. When I close my eyes, the house will collapse and crush me to death. I dare not sleep! !I'm scared... (crying) Accompanying person: (quietly and slowly taking out a tissue and handing it to the frightened person...) Accompanying him without saying a word Frightened person: I cried for ten minutes, and my emotions gradually eased... Accompanying person: (quietly holding a glass of warm water) Do you want to drink some water Frightened person: (Nods his head and takes the water, slowly starts to drink for about five minutes) It's really scary, I'm in pain... Accompanying person: (accompanied and listened quietly for about 20 minutes) Frightened person: (extremely tired) Accompanying person: Xiaowen, I know a very good doctor, I will accompany you to see him, okay, just take a little medicine for a while, just don’t worry about it, so that you can sleep well, otherwise I will feel very sorry to see you working so hard sad…… Frightened: Nod... Accompanying person: You take a rest first, I'll go hire a taxi... The method mentioned above is actually very simple, but for those who are frightened, it is like receiving the oasis of angels in purgatory. They will always remember it in their hearts, which is something that money cannot do! Posted by sun on May 14th, 2008 Zhang Weiyang, Director of the Mental Health Department of Renji Sanatorium This was Mei Ling's first sentence when she talked about Mr. Guan, her face was expressionless and calm enough to worry. Finally, Meiling broke the silence and said the second sentence, but I have maintained a sincere and caring attitude throughout, playing the role of companion and listener, without saying a word.It can be seen that she is trying very hard to control, or should be said to suppress and isolate her emotions. As soon as Meiling's eyes made contact with mine, she immediately ran away. She wanted to show herself calm and strong. Mei Ling tried her best to force a smile from the corner of her mouth, but still made no eye contact.She wants to change the original topic, I think she is not at peace. This is the first sentence I go into therapy, try to answer with an open end, without restricting her thoughts or forcing her to express her feelings.After taking a deep breath, Meiling continued looking at the table and talking... "Lifu and I like nature, whenever we have free time we will take Xiaobao for a walk in the suburbs, sometimes..." The relaxing theme helps her ease her emotions , but the memories at this time should be far more painful than sweet, she is really brave. "We used to..., the climate was pleasant at that time, and..." This time she talked about more delicate memories, her eyes were flushed, but the corners of her mouth squeezed out inappropriate short-term smiles from time to time, she strongly asked herself to be polite and polite. Keep calm, I think she did put a lot of thought into helping herself get back to her pace of life quickly, but most of her energy was spent on taking care of her outward behavior, and she might not have touched her inner feelings.I have not changed my view that her way of dealing with her inner feelings is depression and isolation, but judging from the energy she spent trying to take care of herself, her depression is not as serious as it looks, on the contrary, she is sad, Grief, anxiety, anger and other emotional reactions were imprisoned by her. I don't know how she would trigger them?I'm still waiting for the right time to assist her with this step. At this point, Meiling stopped suddenly, and her helpless eyes stayed on mine. With a caring attitude, I nodded to signal her to continue talking. Meiling choked up, and her eyes no longer escaped. , clenching his fists and crying loudly, the huge emotional energy broke through the heart defense in an instant through crying, like a galloping horse.I poured her a glass of warm water and put a box of tissues beside her. Quietly accompanied me, and Meiling still tried her best to say in convulsions and crying: The description of the treatment process must come to an end here. Meiling's original emotional management is not to feel, so that the pain of loss can be cut off.After establishing a relationship with the therapist and listening to her, Meiling decided not to avoid it anymore. (Most patients will know whether it is possible to touch the pain in their hearts in a safe treatment environment and relationship with the therapist. Personality traits, care, respect and professionalism) She is still in the stage of "experiencing grief", which is a necessary process and needs support and encouragement in order to inject emotional vitality into hope in the future and re-adapt to the new environment.Let us bless her and Xiaobao. Postscript: None of the cases in this article use their real names, and any similarity is purely coincidental; the content of the conversation has also been slightly modified. It is worth mentioning that Meiling said: "There must be many people who have encountered the same situation as me. I don't know what they plan to do. Get over it? If you have time, you should help those in need, and if you can use me..." Because of this passage, I was motivated to write this article on the healing journey, hoping to encourage those in need to seek help bravely, and also Once again, I would like to remind the helping workers to pay more, care more, listen more, don't criticize, argue, and try to change. We all know it's not easy, but let's work together.After reading this article, Mei Ling is willing to share her feelings about the treatment process with you by publishing it, and finally quotes Mei Ling: Hao Hong: What people behind the disaster relief should not do Our people's soldiers are trying their best to rush to the epicenter of the disaster area at any cost; our rescue workers are racing against time and death; our government is going all out to deal with the disaster. At this moment, what else can we do for Wenchuan other than distress and respect? Many touching scenes appeared among us—many people joined the blood donation team and let the blood directly rescue the wounded in the disaster area; Even plans to dedicate longer spiritual and material support to orphans and people in the disaster area... In fact, it would be fine if we just watched and supported silently.However, we still have to be vigilant not to do something that shouldn't be done—— Some people are happy to create and spread those sensational rumors.Now, any information related to the disaster area will be quickly transmitted and amplified.Irresponsible predictions and lies can only create groundless panic and add psychological pressure to the victims. Some people like to leave empty abuse and accusations online.Every natural disaster requires deep reflection, but We cannot lift the rubble from the survivors, transport and care for the wounded, or give the grieving a silent hug.But we can, for example, whether to transfer the earthquake orphans to the eastern cities as soon as possible to prevent them from being more painfully stimulated; we can light a candle for the dead and silently pray that "there is no earthquake in heaven"; This book, a schoolbag, and a radio give them some care and care within their ability in their future education... In the face of natural disasters, let us put aside differences and disputes for the time being, talk less and do more practical things; more understanding and strength.Let a good heart guide your words and deeds!As some netizens said, " ".
