Lesson Overview

1.41 – Managing Psychological Shocks from Bad News: Sudden bad news triggers acute shock—mind races, body freezes, logic dissolves. First, breathe deliberately and sit down; physical grounding reduces collapse risk. Acknowledge numbness as protection, not denial. Avoid immediate major decisions; shock impairs judgment for hours. Speak facts aloud to verify reality gently. Seek company or call supportive contacts to anchor presence. Hydrate and eat light foods to stabilize glucose affected by adrenaline. Write details down to avoid distorted memory later. As feelings return, practice paced emotional release rather than suppression. Processing shock through slow acceptance prevents trauma layering. Treat your body kindly; it’s doing emergency triage. Stability returns through routine and rest. Bad news may shatter plans, but deliberate calm repairs clarity, turning chaos into cautious forward motion.
