[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Telling someone to take a “relaxing” shower during an anxiety-induced situation is akin to telling a depressed person to sit outside in the sun while chewing on some vitamins. It is like basically saying “C’mon…. Just SNAP out of it!” So showering helps the officer’s wife. That is good for her. But for many people dealing with anxiety issues ~ they definitely need more than a body cleansing in order to “snap” out of it! [/quote] I'm not sure I agree with this. I work on a suicide hotline, and we often use taking a hot shower as a coping tool. It's more about staying safe for the moment, escalating an intense feeling than a long-term fix. I agree that DV experts or a social worker should be part of these kind of calls, but I don't think a hot shower was a bad suggestion. What do you have in mind? Xanax/a trip to the doctor or...?[/quote]
