1 Recognize the signs

The first step to cope with a critical incident is to recognize the signs of stress and trauma in yourself and others. Some common signs are physical (such as headaches, fatigue, or insomnia), emotional (such as anxiety, anger, or guilt), cognitive (such as confusion, memory loss, or poor concentration), or behavioral (such as withdrawal, irritability, or substance abuse). These signs may appear immediately after the incident or later on, and they may vary in intensity and duration. If you notice any of these signs, do not ignore them or blame yourself. They are normal reactions to abnormal situations.

It is important to acknowledge that incidents outside of work, in one's personal life, will almost certainly leak into work and career actions. If one has been through, for instance, an accident, a frightening diagnosis, had a loss in the family or any other major stressor, there is no question that it will affect your work. You may: - Lose focus - Have memory issues - Have emotional outbursts - Suffer from inadequate food or sleep - Be irritable And many other symptoms.... Please be aware that these signs cannot be ignored, and the longer they go untended, the more damage they will do, and the harder they will be to uproot. I deeply recommend seeking trauma-informed medical and counseling support - you are never alone.

Los mecanismos de afrontamiento más eficaces para enfrentar incidentes críticos implican una combinación de competencias transversales y control del estrés. Cultivar la resiliencia emocional, mantener una mentalidad positiva, y practicar la autocompasión son fundamentales. Además, la gestión efectiva del tiempo y el establecimiento de límites claros son herramientas clave para mantener el equilibrio y la claridad mental en situaciones desafiantes. La conexión con una red de apoyo, ya sea a nivel profesional o personal, también juega un papel crucial en la superación de obstáculos y en la construcción de una carrera duradera y satisfactoria.

In handling critical incidents in my career, I prioritize self-care through mindfulness techniques and exercise. Seek support from colleagues or mentors for perspective. Analyze the incident objectively, learning from it. Establish a robust support network and, if necessary, consult professionals for coping strategies and mental well-being.

2 Seek support

The second step to cope with a critical incident is to seek support from others who can understand and help you. This can include your family, friends, colleagues, or professional counselors. Support can provide you with emotional comfort, practical assistance, information, or advice. It can also help you to process your feelings, thoughts, and experiences, and to find meaning and purpose in the aftermath of the incident. Support can be formal (such as counseling, debriefing, or peer support programs) or informal (such as talking, listening, or sharing). Seek support that suits your needs and preferences, and do not isolate yourself.

Being humble to seek support whenever needed, allows you to be proud of giving more support for all colleagues It's a circle of time, one time you're at the end, the very second time you're ahead Knowledge is the one true superpower, and interestingly increases exponentially by sharing

3 Manage your stress

The third step to cope with a critical incident is to manage your stress and take care of yourself. Stress can affect your physical and mental health, and impair your ability to cope and recover. To manage your stress, you can use various techniques, such as relaxation, breathing, meditation, or exercise. You can also take care of yourself by maintaining a healthy lifestyle, such as eating well, sleeping enough, and avoiding alcohol and drugs. You can also engage in activities that bring you joy, such as hobbies, music, or humor. Managing your stress and taking care of yourself can help you to restore your balance and resilience.

Selbstfürsorge ist zentral für den Umgang mit kritischen Vorf?llen. Doch die Betrachtung von Stress als ausschlie?lich negativem Faktor greift zu kurz. Das Yerkes-Dodson-Gesetz verweist auf ein optimales Stresslevel, den Flow-Zustand, der Leistungsf?higkeit steigert, ohne zu überfordern. Dieser Zustand f?rdert Kreativit?t und Produktivit?t. Dieser Flow-Zustand kann bspw. durch proaktives Coaching erreicht werden. Es bietet nicht nur Techniken zur Stressbew?ltigung, sonder ein tieferes Verst?ndnis dafür, Stress als Motor für pers?nliches Wachstum zu nutzen. Dieser Ansatz erweitert die traditionellen Methoden der Selbstfürsorge und unterstreicht die Bedeutung, Stress positiv zu betrachten und für die pers?nliche Entwicklung zu nutzen.

El estrés se puede controlar diferentes maneras. La primera y más importante es identificando las fuentes del mismo. Haz una lista de todo aquello que te estresa. Empieza con lo que más te estresa hasta lo que te causa menos tensión. Con qué fin vas a hacer eso, muy simple: Primero: cuando tengas tu lista en la mano, tendrás una percepción de tus problemas más clara. Segundo: al tener una mejor percepción, sentirás automáticamente que tienes más control sobre las diversas situaciones. Tercero: esto a su vez disminuirá la imprevisibilidad que tienes de cara al futuro. Cuarto: cuando la situación es más previsible, se puede pedir ayuda específica o desarrollar habilidades concretas para un objetivo establecido.

Sleep can be one of the most healing things for our nervous systems - in fact, during REM sleep our brain processes challenging life experiences and makes them less painful (check out work by Dr Matthew Walker on this). The challenge is that when we're very stressed, it can impact our ability to sleep. Prioritize all of your sleep hygiene at those times. Doing yoga nidra can also be extra supportive when good sleep is elusive.

4 Learn from the incident

The fourth step to cope with a critical incident is to learn from the incident and use it as an opportunity for growth and development. A critical incident can challenge your beliefs, values, and goals, and make you question your career path and direction. To learn from the incident, you can reflect on what happened, what you did, what you learned, and what you can do differently in the future. You can also identify your strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. You can also seek feedback, mentoring, or coaching from others who can guide you and support you. Learning from the incident can help you to enhance your skills, knowledge, and confidence, and to advance your career.

5 Plan for the future

The fifth step to cope with a critical incident is to plan for the future and prepare yourself for possible challenges and opportunities. A critical incident can change your perspective, priorities, and expectations, and make you rethink your career goals and strategies. To plan for the future, you can set realistic and attainable goals, and identify the steps and resources needed to achieve them. You can also anticipate potential obstacles and risks, and devise contingency plans and solutions. You can also explore new options and opportunities, and pursue them with enthusiasm and optimism. Planning for the future can help you to regain your sense of control and direction, and to move forward with your career.

6 Seek help if needed

The sixth and final step to cope with a critical incident is to seek help if needed. Sometimes, the impact of a critical incident can be overwhelming and persistent, and interfere with your daily functioning and well-being. If you experience severe or prolonged symptoms of stress or trauma, such as depression, anxiety, flashbacks, or nightmares, you may have a condition called post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD is a serious mental health problem that requires professional treatment. If you suspect that you have PTSD, or if you feel suicidal, hopeless, or helpless, do not hesitate to seek help from a qualified mental health provider. Seeking help is not a sign of weakness, but of strength and courage.

Reactions following a traumatic event are entirely normal and understandable. It's crucial to acknowledge and validate these feelings. However, if symptoms persist or worsen after a month, consider seeking professional help. Ignoring persistent symptoms can exacerbate the situation and impact overall well-being. Talking to a professional can provide valuable support and guidance in coping with the aftermath of a critical incident.
