Critical incident stress debriefing 

Critical incident stress debriefing (CISD) is a treatment offered to clients within 48 hours following a civilian disaster or war zone trauma. 

It is intended to weaken the acute symptoms of the trauma and to forestall the development of full-blown PTSD. 

CISD usually consists of four phases: 

* description of the traumatic event; 

* sharing of survivors' emotional reactions to the event; 

* open discussion of symptoms caused by the event; 

* reassurance that the symptoms are normal responses to trauma, followed by discussion of coping strategies. 

If you require help and advice Counselling and Psychotherapy may be provided via Skype and FaceTime in the comfort of your home, office or any place of your choice.
