General references:
 
· do not minimise, underplay or trivialise the things that had happened to them
· do not give advice
· normalise reactions (“they are normal reactions to an abnormal situation”).

Dealing with flash-backs:
 
· the flash-back is a reminder of the bad thing that had happened, not real now
· concentrate on the here and now:
o “The danger is over, it happened in the past, not now.”
o “Now I am in a safe place.”
o Realise the difference between then and now (“What day is it today?”, “Where are we now?”, “What time is it?”)
o let the concerned participant describe things in the room (attentional deployment).

Answer questions, such as:
 
· “How will it go on with the training?”
· “Are there any consequences for my career?”
