How do you respond in a crisis? Stay calm or get emotional?

Answer 1

I have controlled calmness throughout a crisis. I want to get emotional, yet, as a man, I try to show bravery and calmness, though I don't always do. Usually the rage or anger appears later as I discuss my feelings with others. Then after a day or two it subsides and I try to deal with it as it is. It's funny how I go about these different stages during an ordeal. I wonder if other people go through defined stages according to their personality. It would be interesting to see any studies or statistics on this subject.

Answer 2

Both, they are equally important in processing and getting through the crisis. The question is which order should they happen. Stay calm first, when the crisis is over get as emotional as you need to get. If you get emotional first the crisis may last longer and can be harder to endure. It can also either make things worse or just seem worse than they actually are. Staying calm helps you think straight, you will be more likely to take controlled and thought out actions.

Answer 3

I am very emotional, though I wish desperately that I wasn't. I have found that when I am sad or scared I am VERY sad or scared. But, you know what, when I am happy and content and safe, I am in a magnificent place. I find that if the crisis has to do with my personal security, I'm emotion filled and I even make myself physically sick with worry and fear. If the crisis is related to an injury or something that has happened to someone else, I am as rational as can be and I do fine.

Answer 4

Calm during the crisis,
fall apart physically after.

Answer 5

In a crisis you most stay calm, but you have to let them emotion out.
Go in your room scream at the top of your lugs.
Do an activity to re-leave the emotional.
But what every you do Don't keep them bottle in.

Answer 6

Calm although the adrenline kicks in. In an emergency, you need at least a few minutes to assess what needs to be done so that your response is guided and needless mistakes are not made. When smart decisons are made, adrenline works to your advantage. It's amazing what can be accomplished in a few minutes. When adrenline or emotions take precedence, bad decisions are often made that can be the difference between life and death.

I usually do great if it is a big crisis. But I go off on the little ones. I have no idea why.
