Sample Book Insights: #1 The premise of psychological debriefing is that when people have experienced a traumatic event, they should air their feelings as soon as possible so that they don’t develop post-traumatic stress disorder. But is this really helpful. #2 The writing technique, which people do in private weeks after the event, is more effective than CISD. It helps people heal, and it doesn’t cause any psychological problems. #3 The writing exercise helps people redirect their interpretations in healthier ways than CISD does. Our minds automatically interpret events and situations, and these interpretations are based on past experience and the context in which we experience something. #4 Our interpretations are rooted in the narratives we construct about ourselves and the social world, and they can be positive or negative. They can help us motivate us to do better, or they can lead us down a path of unhealthy pessimism.
