台北攻擊事件過後，最難熬的往往不是「當下」，而是試著回到日常時，突如其來的緊繃、失眠或心跳加速——即便你只是透過螢幕觀看新聞畫面，也可能因為共感而受到影響。這篇文章整理了近期外媒報導中的三個關鍵字：Witness、Trauma、Heightened alert。我們不只要了解這些詞彙在新聞中的含義，更希望透過這些語言，帶你指認出自己此刻的心理狀態：是處於高度警戒？還是需要尋求支持？讀懂新聞，是為了掌握資訊；讀懂情緒，則是為了找回安定的力量。

METRO RAMPAGE: Witnesses to Taipei stabbing attacks could experience trauma, psychologists warn
By Lin Chih-yi and William Hetherington / Staff reporter, with staff writer
People who saw a stabbing attack in Taipei on Friday, as well as people exposed to images of the incident, could experience trauma, highlighting the need for awareness and care, a psychologists’ association said yesterday.
The suspect, 27-year-old Chang Wen (張文), carried out attacks at Taipei Main Station and Zhongshan MRT Station on Friday, killing three people and leaving 11 injured.
“The incident occurred in several crowded public spaces, and while those injured and their families would require long-term recovery and support, witnesses and people exposed to images of the attack might also need care,” the National Union of Counseling Psychologists’ Associations said.
