| Subject: Whatever the OZschwitz statists touch, turns to shit: Crisis psychologist likens Mr Fluffy to nuclear disaster Mon Jun 01, 2015 1:07 am | |
| Canberra families affected by Mr Fluffy asbestos could take several years to recover psychologically and needed the community's patience and understanding when they were suffering acute stress and anxiety.
Clinical psychologist and disaster expert Dr Rob Gordon said there were many parallels between the families affected by the Canberra bushfires and the Mr Fluffy crisis.
Yet he said the very nature of asbestos – invisible to the eye and unable to be detected in small quantities – made it an insidious psychological enemy.
"It is a hidden threat, it is invisible and the timeframe of harm is uncertain – it makes it very difficult to make sense of or to come to terms with, unlike a fire which is extremely visible."
