Cognitions-what we think about it.
total eXperience

•    When there is a crisis it is better to not take on the victim mentality. We can do things to change the situation so we have to take on a positive attitude. 
• Anger helps you feel in control but it doesn't actually help in any way. 
• Fear and anxiety make you more vulnerable
• When we lack information, we tend to fill in the gaps with things that usually freak you out more than is really necessary.

My favorite quote of the week

"Evil is always stupid. No matter the reason, it's never a good reason. It's always stupid."


A crisis can make or break a family. I know that in my own family we have become closer in some ways when we have a crisis, but there are some situations where it seems easier to take a step back and let whatever happen. Crisis are never fun for anyone or any family but it is a part of life and we have to choose how to deal with it.
