The Crew Coach Guide on How to Manage in a Crisis

When you are hit by a crisis, no one is ever prepared, and for the most part, it is unexpected. This has never been more true than the situation the world is finding itself in right now, and given this, or any, event, we may have a crisis reaction. This is normal, even though it may not seem so.

To help crew overcome the distress and help manage your reactions in a crisis, The Crew Coach has put together a comprehensive guide on how to manage in a crisis, designed to teach you: what to do to cope and overcome the distress; different cognitive, behavioural, emotional and physical responses to a crisis; how to manage your distressing thoughts; and how to cope with crisis reactions.

We can't stress enough how important it is to familiarise yourself with these practical strategies so that you can not only help yourself but also friends, family, co-workers and loved ones.

Aside from this, The Crew Coach is offering free discovery calls available to those interested in any of the following services:

Counselling

Using a combination of therapeutic approaches, Karine Rayson, director of The Crew Coach, assists her clients in working through personal and professional challenges that are keeping them stuck.

Crew life on a yacht can be stressful, exhausting and isolating. A recent survey reported that 72% of crew surveyed suffered from mental health problems or knew someone in the industry that did, and 70% said there was no support to help them cope with stress or mental health on board. Due to the increased need for support in the mental health space, counselling has become an in demand service by crew and yacht management companies.

Karine uses a combination of therapeutic approaches including: cognitive behavioural therapy, solution-focused therapy, person-centred therapy and positive psychology.

Accumulating a wealth of clinical experience having worked in correctional facilities across Australia, she is adept in dealing with distressing events, workplace issues and other personal problems or challenges. Counselling is provided online through video call thereby giving you the accessibility and flexibility that you need. Counselling is helpful in addressing the following issues:

• Burnout

• Anxiety/Depression

• Grief

• Relationships

• AOD (alcohol and drug counselling)

• Trauma

• Stress

• Sexual Harassment/assault

• Self-worth and self-esteem issues
