Introduction
Distress is something which occurs to all of us as does happiness. It is only when there is too much distress, physical or mental, that problems start.
Each individual responds differently to stress and each one of us has a different tolerance to it.
These pages have been written to provide help if you feel you have been affected by a traumatic incident, such as a disaster, sudden death of a serving officer, or a severe or unusual incident.
By their very nature, these events are distressing to everyone. The emotional and physical reactions that follow such events are usually intense, they often confuse, frighten and shock. You may also be surprised by reactions that are unfamiliar and seemingly out of character.
These pages offer advice which helps you understand and cope with your reactions.
"You are not abnormal if you react - It is normal to react"
