Understand that shark attacks are very hard to forget. How upset you are afterwards will depend on how badly injured or scared after the attack you were.
Think of how grateful you are to survive. If you died during your shark attack, that would not have been a good thing. Your family and friends would probably miss you a lot and it would cause them a lot of pain.
Try to get involved in many activities around your local shop. To get your mind off things.
Try sleeping tablets to help yourself sleep. This technique is especially effective if you have nightmares.
Don't sleep with any animals or moving objects that will disturb you and remind you of the attack. Doing so will only make your fear worse.
Go to see sharks in an aquarium. Understanding the animals better will help you understand why they attacked.
Get used to being in the water again. Remember that this takes a while to do, so don't expect it to happen overnight.
Try not to go straight back to the sea. Try going to swimming pool or river first to help calm your fear. When you are comfortable with this, go back to the sea, but don't go very far.Overcome the Trauma of a Shark Attack Step 8Bullet1.jpg
Go further out in the sea until you feel safe again. Be sure to do this gradually, though.
