Introduction
After a trauma, people may go through a range of foreign feelings and emotions. Often people who did not experience the trauma first hand, such as the person first at the scene of an accident, are surprised by the intensity of their responses.
This brochure provides a list of some of the common reactions to a traumatic situation and some helpful tips that may assist in keeping some of these symptoms under control.
