How would approach someone experiencing severe psychological shock and cognitive overload?
Let's say someone experienced a recent traumatic event, like within the past hour or so, and they seem to be unable to process it for some reason. How would you handle that situation?

Depending on what they went through, I would try to approach and relate with empathy, having gone through some messed up stuff myself I wish on nobody or another option would be to just talk about whatever is on my mind, as a friend has told me that talking to me has helped him whenever he just felt extremely overwhelmed.
Delicately and with respect, let them take things at their own pace dont try to force them into talking about it, just be there for them when they are ready to and make sure that they are going to be okay and safe. If they are freaking out try to calm them the best you can <3 :bluerune::luv:
Be a bro and bring beer.
get 'em a blanket and a cup of tea and tell them, "i'm here if you feel like talking."

Slap them like in the movies.

"Get a hold of yourself, man!!"
Everyone grieves in their own way.

Sometimes its better to just not say anything and listen to them when they are ready to talk, i know from when people have tried to get me to talk about things in the past. It made me want to like shut down and not share what was going on, obviously they were just worried or wanted to know what was wrong but it can make things worse sometimes <3 :bluerune::luv:
I'd give them a Snickers.

I've faced similar stuff like that, but I think I feel more safe around the people I know, I was able to talk about it. Though we're all different and yeah, you have no obligation to say what happened when you're barely processing it

nibba what
If they are a friend or a member of our team, I'll take over their immediate work on the to-do list, give them assurance, and send them back home. Then, I'll catch up with them later to ask if they're doing better and ask if I can assist in any way.
I'd remind them that Drumpf ia literally hitler and being Trans will fix all their problems 🏳️‍⚧️❤️
Anybody claiming to suffer from that needs to get over it.
Anybody actually suffering from that will do their best to hide it.
