Shaken up, but already settling

Two days after narrowly avoiding a serious car accident (swerving to avoid a collision, with no impact or injury), Lena, 38, reports feeling shaky, tearful, and unable to concentrate, with a sense of unreality about the event. She has not driven since. By the third day, she reports the intensity of these feelings is already noticeably decreasing, and she does not describe recurrent intrusive flashbacks or nightmares.
