10.    Consider the following case of a man who was traumatized by the terrorist attacks of 9-11 2001.  What feeling reflection statements would you offer?  Summary statements?  What open-ended questions would you ask to collaborate on an action step?  Offer a response to each statement below.

Three of my friends from church were killed in the Pentagon crash last week.  I'm looking at the wreckage in the center of the building right now. 

I keep having nightmares that the terrorists come to "finish the job." It probably doesn't help that I sit glued to the TV all the time.

I cry all the time.  Sometimes I shake.  I just can't concentrate on my work.  And I can't call in sick anymore.  I could lose my job.

My job seems so pointless in the light of things.  How do I cope with this stuff?  I don't know what to do.

Yes, I miss my friends.  Especially Jason.  We were golfing partners.  He has two beautiful girls.  He was such a calm and caring person.  And we were in a men's Bible Study together.

I know it's not right, but whenever I see an Arab I think of Bin Laden and his terrorist cells.  They're so evil.

What's going on with me?  When will I be back to normal?  What should I do?

I haven't done anything to help myself.  I just watch TV and cry and try to sleep.  And now I go to work.  I live alone.

I haven't told anyone at church.  I do have other friends.  I guess I've been scared to get close to anyone.  Three of my friends are gone now.

I haven't wanted anyone to know how upset I am.  I mean I'm okay.  I'm alive.  I'm healthy.  I shouldn't be so upset by this.

Yeah, I guess it is hard to lose your friends.  And it all happened so close to me.

Maybe I should talk to my pastor or go to a counselor.  I need to get through this.

I'm so glad that you answered my call!  You're the first person I've talked to about how it's really going for me.  Could you pray for me?
