Coping with Critical Stress You may have experienced a traumatic event or a critical incident. This may bring up strong emotional reactions that can interfere with your ability to function normally now or later on. It is normal for people to have emotional aftershocks when they have experienced a traumatic event. Symptoms of an emotional reaction may last a few days, weeks, months, or longer depending on the severity of the event. Emotional stress can pass more quickly with the support and understanding of loved ones. However, a person may need professional assistance if the event becomes too difficult to handle alone. Receiving help from a counselor is the best resource you can give yourself.

Counseling and Mental Health clinicians are here to help you. Call our 24/7 line: 213-740-9355 (WELL)
