How do people respond to traumatic events?
- People respond to traumatic events in different ways. Often there are no visible signs, but people may have serious emotional reactions.
- Shock and denial are often used to protect yourself from the emotional impact of the event. You may feel numb or detached. You may not feel the event’s full intensity right away.
- Moving past the initial shock usually takes 4–6 weeks from the event. This is seen as the difference between an acute stress reaction (within 4 weeks from the event) or a post-traumatic reaction (usually after 4–6 weeks).
