What is a crisis?

If you have had a difficult experience, trauma, crisis or bereavement and feel that you have lost your grip on life, with symptoms such as nightmares, apathy, anxiety and fear. Most crises and traumas do not lead to post-traumatic stress disorder. However, it is still useful to investigate this if a longer period of time has passed and there are still symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, avoidance, fearfulness, etc. In the case of post-traumatic stress disorder, there is a specific treatment that is effective for this diagnosis. Psychotherapy can provide effective support in an acute crisis through a professional's ability to provide an overview and knowledge of the nature and course of crises. A crisis may be the death of a relative, illness, unemployment, divorce or infidelity. When a person is experiencing a crisis, they need support. They need to talk and hear themselves talk about what has happened. While talking about what has happened, the person processes the crisis. In some cases, the person may go through different phases such as shock, denial, feelings of unreality, guilt, anger, sadness, etc. It is individual which phases you go through and in what order. After a while, the person usually enters what is known as a reorientation phase, in which they have found themselves in their life despite the changes brought about by the crisis. It is not possible to say exactly how long this will take, as it depends on the type of crisis the person has experienced, the support they have and whether they have a mental vulnerability to mental illness.
