Shellers Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) Please don't quote this, I may end up deleting it. My oldest DD 22 had her birthday yesterday. In addition to going to college full time, one of her jobs is working part time as a teller at a credit union. Her co-workers decorated her area for her birthday. A suspicious man entered her bank wearing a fake beard. He ended up choosing her teller line to rob the bank. Thankfully the guy was caught. She's still pretty shaken up. Her work has offered her counseling, and I've stressed to her that she needs to take them up on the offer. I feel so bad for her. Here's the news link.

cajunrose Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Tell her to take the counseling. I was held at gunpoint (wrong place wrong time) 14 years ago and I STILL have nightmares about it. She thinks she's ok right now...but it will haunt her for years. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terabith Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I've been told that EMDR is a weird but effective treatment for post traumatic stress treatment. I would definitely tell her to take advantage of the counseling and consider trying to find someone who is trained in EMDR. It sounds weird and new agey, but there seem to be studies out there supporting it. http://www.ptsd.va.gov/public/pages/treatment-ptsd.asp :grouphug: That is so scary, for both of you!!!! What a relief that he was caught and no one was hurt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
