In this country people are focusing the moment the disaster areas, there is a need to pay attention to the same group. As Hartsough Myers and two pairs of this disaster reconstruction deep psychological research psychologist said: Every witness to the disaster, to a certain extent, are victims. Although many people away from disaster areas, Has not witnessed the scene, but felt the earthquake was felt at the time, then daily from the Internet and television to see the shocking news and pictures, will also appear different psychological problems.

At the beginning that only small earthquake, not too concerned about. Subsequently seen on the ceiling chandelier kept shaking, and things are falling, think that some serious, run out. Earthquake occurred, Huang Zhigang good in the mission Chengdu, Chongqing was quite returned to Beijing. The first time in five days, then talk about the experience, he is still fear: Now go to bed at night always dreamed of the scene at that time, to wake up at night several times, each time will be focused on the chandelier can have shaken. Huang and Chile, the blue heart has recently emerged sleep disorders, she said: Every day the Internet, watching television, time and again was the worst disaster areas as shocking, and sometimes we will be here also worried that the earthquake.

Psychologists study found that after a major disaster, people did not experience the disaster will also appear shocking, sadness, helplessness, fear, worry and other psychological problems, but also the emergence of some physical symptoms such as fatigue, difficulty in breathing, throat and chest feel Infarction, memory decline, dizziness confusion, rapid heart beat, and so on. The occurrence of a major disaster experience or witness the people are very big impact, in the early symptoms of these problems and is a normal phenomenon, some of them distress and symptoms with the passage of time will weaken, dissipated. But there are some problems and symptoms are not only not disappeared, will further deteriorate, develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Myers pointed out: To cope with these reactions, how to have the symptoms of early attention, can speed up recovery and prevent the formation of long-term problem. Therefore, the disaster did not experience the people, the same needs out of the shadow of disaster, Reconstruction of the health of their hearts.

After the disaster, many people s minds backlog of a variety of negative emotions and pressure, if not timely venting and ease, it is bound to the individual mental health and work life have a negative impact.

So how can it be good to talk Psychologists Erikson said: If there is no good support system, it will be difficult from the personal trauma recovery. Therefore, the talk is effective in supporting the system. Mentioned here by the support system is worthy of our trust, Critical moment we can provide assistance to the relatives and friends posed, such as stress management in the most effective support system is their spouses and direct supervisor. When you feel the emotional heart backlog let you uncomfortable when you trust in a timely manner to the relatives And a friend to talk or write diaries venting them out. In addition, access to some of the things you touched, such as watching CCTV s love of dedication show, the backlog of emotion and pressure to find a gap, with tears flowing out It is also very good method.

Good support system can play to help people rebuild the important role of psychological sense of security. Beijing Guo of a primary school teacher in the last feeling unsafe in their own lives: The earthquake so that our lives I am not safe, I do not know what will happen when the disaster. To the disaster, are running too late, let alone with On anything.

For them, to do is to calm down and think rationally Rumors are everywhere you will find loopholes, such as the world at present no country can accurately forecast the earthquake disaster to the hour. Spreading rumors or irresponsible people, or people with ulterior motives.
