Possible feelings or thoughts that a person who has been subjected to violent crime may have
Answers
Possible feelings are dependent on an individual’s personality. An introvert would react far differently than an extrovert. Somebody who has a high sense of self esteem would react way differently than somebody with a low sense of self esteem. While those aren't the only two factors, there’s just too many to consider, from one individual to the next, and that’s not even including how an individual was raised.
However, there is a centralized method of measuring a reaction to a traumatic event.
In most psyche circles, it’s known as the five stages of grief.
- Denial
- Anger
- Bargaining
- Depression
- Acceptance
While this has been commonly associated with somebody dying, which is traumatic in itself of course, it can apply to victims of violent crimes. Anywhere between any of these five, PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) can also develop.
People deal with their emotions way differently across the board. What you may want to consider isn’t three possible feelings, but rather look to discover 3 different means of coping with the violent crime.
It’s okay to have negative feelings about an event that includes violent crimes, but what’s important to the core, is what a person does with those feelings. Coping with them may require assistance, but the moment a person runs out of the ability to cope with their feelings, that’s the danger zone that can include self inflicted harm, aka suicide. Sadly, not everyone displays signs they need emotional help, and many of the victim’s relatives and friends are surprised when they kill themselves.
I hope I’ve helped you with your question.
